    摘要: A device for producing printed images of a subject is described. The device includes a housing containing an imaging apparatus, and a frame carrying a hood configured to exclude outside light from illuminating a subject. The frame is rotationally spring loaded and counterbalanced on the housing, allowing the frame to be pulled downward without pulling the housing over onto the subject. The hood is configured to indirectly illuminate the subject by reflecting light onto the subject. The imaging apparatus includes a camera configured to take subject image data (i.e., a picture of the subject), a device to provide component-image data (i.e., background, foreground or framing images) to be synthesized with the picture of the subject, a device to synthesize the picture with the component-images, and a printer to print the resulting synthesized images. A cassette unit that contains a plurality of read-only memory chips is removably plugged into the device. The read-only memory contains a large number of component-images for the subject to choose from. The subject selects four different component-images from the read-only memory for synthesizing with the subject's picture. In order to take the picture of the subject, the camera-eye view of the subject is shown on a screen. The subject is forewarned of the time that the camera will take the picture by both a textual message on the screen and an audio message. Once the picture is taken, it is stored in a first digital memory. A circuit synthesizes each of the four component-images with the subject's picture, producing four synthesized images that are stored in a second digital memory. Optionally, the circuit can process the four synthesized images to create monochrome pictures. The imaging apparatus then prints a composite image composed of four rows of each of the four synthesized images.
