Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial Field of Application] The present invention relates to a color photographic film package and a method for producing color prints. More specifically, the present invention relates to a color photographic film package having a photographic information recording section and a method for producing color prints with excellent sharpness by determining printing conditions based on information recorded in the photographing information recording section.

[Prior Art] In recent years, improvements have been made in the graininess, sharpness, and color reproduction of silver halide color light-sensitive materials for photography, and as the sensitivity of commonly used photographic films has increased, cameras equipped with zoom lenses or bifocal lenses have developed. has become more and more popular, and it has become possible to obtain a wide variety of high-quality color print photographs (hereinafter sometimes abbreviated as prints). Techniques for improving the image quality, particularly the sharpness, of such color negatives (hereinafter sometimes abbreviated as negatives) can be broadly classified into two types. One is the reduction of optical scattering in the film, and the other is the use of the so-called edge effect based on the development effect.

There are several methods to reduce optical scattering, such as making the light-sensitive material thinner. Reducing light scattering is extremely important, and for this purpose the use of so-called tabular silver halide emulsions is recommended for IJ f-tidis closure (
Research Disclos-are）nu253
30 (May 1985), etc.

On the other hand, the current method of obtaining color prints begins with the photographer submitting the finished color negative film to a photo lab, where the negative is developed, and the developed negative is passed through a color printer. Printers who had ample experience in this process decided on printing conditions, exposed the color paper to light, developed the prints, and finally produced color prints of good quality.

In addition, in order to improve print image quality, we use optical means, magnetic means, or electric means to collect various information such as shooting information (presence of strobe, color temperature, LV value, shooting distance, etc.).
Lens focal length, subject contrast, shooting date and time, shooting location, etc.), film information (film type, film manufacturing date, printing conditions, etc.), laboratory information (lab salt, development date, simultaneous printing) It has been common practice to input printing conditions, etc.) onto photographic film.

Regarding this information input method, for example, JP-A-62-5
It is described in Japanese Patent No. 0.743, Japanese Patent No. 62-209.430, and US Pat. No. 4,864.332.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

However, recently, when color negatives are used as photosensitive materials for photography, it has been found that the results of the final printed photographs are not always at a level that satisfies the photographer, and in particular, the sharpness is insufficient. Ta.

At the same time, it has also become clear that when color prints with insufficient sharpness are reprinted from the same negative by changing printing conditions, good sharpness can often be obtained.

The reason for this is that printing work is generally carried out by people with little experience in printing, and it is not possible to set appropriate printing conditions just by looking at the negative.

Paradoxically speaking, the quality of finished color prints is currently dependent on the empirical skills of printers, and this problem is becoming more and more difficult considering the labor shortage that is predicted to persist in recent years and in the future. It has become recognized that this is an important problem that needs to be solved.The present inventors have investigated in detail the content of negatives that appear to lack sharpness due to the lack of appropriate printing conditions. After considering it,
The following has become clear.

1) If you only look at the negative, the contrast of the subject that the photographer really wants to capture accurately is unclear, so the print is too dark, the depiction of dark areas is poor, and the sharpness appears insufficient.2) When you look at the negative However, if the contrast of the subject that the photographer really wants to capture accurately is unknown, the prints may appear to be poorly printed, the depiction of bright areas poor, and the sharpness insufficient.In addition, these negatives may be examined in detail. It has also become clear that this problem is more common in high-contrast negatives, and is especially noticeable when using flash photography with a so-called compact camera.

As can be seen from the above, the first purpose of the present invention is to
A second object of the present invention is to provide a color photographic film package and a method for producing color prints that can produce prints with excellent sharpness.A second object of the present invention is to reduce so-called reprints and increase the efficiency of printing operations. It is.

Means for Solving Problem C] As a result of intensive studies, the present inventors have found that the above-mentioned points are (1) a cartridge, a spool rotatably supported around an axis inside the cartridge, and a roll-shaped spool attached to the spool. A color photographic film consisting of a silver halide color photographic light-sensitive material which is wound on a support and has one or more red-sensitive silver halide emulsion layers, one or more green-sensitive silver halide emulsion layers, and one or more blue-sensitive silver halide emulsion layers on a support. A color photographic film package, characterized in that the photographic film has a photographic information recording portion and contains at least one type of flat silver halide emulsion having an aspect ratio of 3 or more.

(2) The printing conditions of the developed color photographic film are determined by using the information recorded in the photographic information recording portion as described in claim (1), and the printing conditions as described in claim (1) are determined. A color print production method characterized by producing a color print from a photographic film package.

It was confirmed that this can be achieved by

Hereinafter, the content of the present invention will be explained in more detail.

The photographic film of the present invention contains at least one type of tabular silver halide emulsion having an aspect ratio of 3 or more in the photosensitive emulsion layer unit. More preferably, the coating amount of the tabular emulsion is 20% or more, most preferably 30% or more of the light-sensitive emulsion layer unit.

A flat emulsion is not preferable for use in an emulsion layer close to the support because, while scattering of perpendicularly incident light is small, on the contrary, obliquely incident light has a large scattering. This can be easily confirmed by experimental methods routinely used by those skilled in the art. The reason why the light scattering of an emulsion layer using a tabular silver halide emulsion is small is not necessarily clear, but it is presumed that the main plane of the tabular silver halide emulsion is oriented parallel to the support surface.

Next, the tabular silver halide emulsion used in the present invention will be explained in detail.

In the tabular silver halide emulsion used in the present invention, the average aspect ratio means the average value of the diameter to thickness ratio of silver halide grains.

That is, it is the average value obtained by dividing the diameter of individual silver halide grains by the thickness. Here, the diameter refers to the diameter of a circle having an area equal to the projected area of the grains when the silver halide emulsion is observed using a microscope or an electron microscope. Therefore, the average aspect ratio of 3:1 or more means that the diameter of this circle is three times or more the thickness of the particle.

In the tabular silver halide grains used in the silver halide emulsion of the present invention, the grain size is at least 3 times the grain thickness, preferably 3 to 20 times, more preferably 4 to 15 times, particularly preferably It is 5 to 10 times. Further, the proportion of tabular silver halide grains in the projected area of all silver halide grains is 50% or more, preferably 70% or more, particularly preferably 85% or more.

In addition, the diameter of the tabular silver halide grains is 0°2 to 2
0, preferably 0.3 to 10.0 μ, particularly preferably 0.4 to 3.0 μ. The thickness of the particles is
Preferably it is 0.5μ or less. Here, the tabular silver halide grain diameter refers to the diameter of a circle with an area equal to the projected area of the grain, and the grain thickness refers to the distance between two parallel planes constituting the tabular silver halide grain. It is expressed as a distance.

In the present invention, more preferred tabular silver halide grains have a grain diameter of 0.3 μm or more and 10.0 μm or less, a grain thickness of 0.3 μm or less, and an average (diameter/thickness) of 5 or more and 10 μm or less. It is as follows.

If it exceeds this range, it is undesirable because the photosensitive material may be bent, tightly rolled up, or may exhibit abnormal photographic performance when it comes into contact with a sharp object. More preferably, the particle diameter is 0.4 μm or more and 5.0 μm or less, and the average (diameter/
This is the case of a silver halide photographic emulsion in which grains having a thickness of 5 or more occupy 85% or more of the total projected area of all silver halide grains.

The tabular silver halide grains used in the present invention include silver chloride,
Any of silver bromide, silver chlorobromide, silver iodobromide, and silver chloroiodobromide may be used, but silver bromide, silver iodobromide containing 15 mol% or less of silver iodide, or silver chloride containing 50 mol% or less Iodization! Silver chloroiodobromide and silver chlorobromide in an amount of 2 mol % or less are more preferred, and the composition distribution in the mixed silver halide may be uniform or localized.

Further, the particle size distribution may be narrow or wide.

However, it can be easily prepared by referring to the methods described in JP-A-58-11392.7, JP-A-58-113928, and JP-A-5B-127921.

For example, seed crystals containing 40% or more by weight of tabular grains are formed in an atmosphere with a relatively high PAg value with a pBr of 1.3 or less, and silver and halogen solutions are simultaneously added while maintaining the pBr value at the same level. It is obtained by growing seed crystals. During this grain growth process, it is desirable to add a silver and halogen solution to prevent the generation of new crystal nuclei.

The size of tabular silver halide grains can be adjusted by controlling temperature adjustment, selection of solvent type and quality, silver salt used during grain growth, halide addition rate, etc.

When producing the tabular silver halide grains of the present invention, by using a silver halide solvent as necessary, grain size, grain shape (diameter/thickness ratio, etc.), grain size distribution,
The growth rate of particles can be controlled. The amount of the solvent used is preferably in the range of 101 to 1.0% by weight, particularly preferably in the range of 101 to 0 to 1% by weight of the reaction solution. In the present invention, as the amount of solvent used increases, the particle size distribution becomes monodisperse and the growth rate can be accelerated, but there is also a tendency that the thickness of the particles increases as the amount of solvent used increases.

When producing the tabular silver halide grains used in the present invention, a silver salt solution (for example, A
g N Ox aqueous solution) and halide solution (e.g. K
A method of increasing the addition rate, amount, and concentration of the Br aqueous solution is preferably used.

These methods are described, for example, in U.S. Pat.

No. 653) The light-sensitive material of the present invention may be provided with at least one silver halide emulsion layer of a blue-sensitive layer, a green-sensitive layer, and a red-sensitive layer on a support. There are no particular restrictions on the number or order of silver halide emulsion layers and non-light-sensitive layers.A typical example is to layer multiple layers on a support with substantially the same color sensitivity but different brightness. A silver halide photographic light-sensitive material having at least one light-sensitive layer consisting of a silver halide emulsion layer of In a multilayer silver halide color photographic light-sensitive material, the unit photosensitive layers are generally arranged in the following order from the support side: a red-sensitive layer, a green-sensitive layer, and a blue-sensitive layer. . However, depending on the purpose, the above-mentioned installation order may be reversed, or the installation order may be such that different photosensitive layers are sandwiched between the same color-sensitive layer.

Non-photosensitive layers such as various intermediate layers may be provided between the above-mentioned silver halide photosensitive layers and between the uppermost layer and the lowermost layer.

The intermediate layer includes JP-A Nos. 61-43748 and 59-1.

In addition, as described in Japanese Patent Publication No. 49-15495, the upper layer is a silver halide emulsion layer with the highest sensitivity, the middle layer is a silver halide emulsion layer with lower sensitivity, and the lower layer is more sensitive than the middle layer. An example is an arrangement consisting of three layers with different photosensitivity, in which a silver halide emulsion layer with a low density is disposed and the photosensitivity gradually decreases toward the support. Even when it is composed of three layers with different photosensitivity, as described in JP-A No. 59-202464,

It can be used alone or in combination.

The pH of these color developing solutions and black and white developing solutions is generally 9 to 12. The amount of replenishment of these developing solutions depends on the color photographic material to be processed, but in general, the amount of replenishment of these developing solutions is 3! By reducing the bromide ion concentration in the replenisher,
can also be as follows. When reducing the amount of replenishment, it is preferable to reduce the contact area of the processing tank with the air to prevent liquid explosion and air oxidation.

The contact area between the photographic processing solution and air in the processing tank can be expressed by the aperture ratio defined below.

That is, Capacity of treatment liquid Ccd) The above aperture ratio is preferably 0.1 or less, more preferably o,oot to 0.05.

Reducing the aperture ratio is preferably applied not only to both color development and black and white development steps, but also to all subsequent steps, such as bleaching, bleach-fixing, fixing, washing, and stabilization. Furthermore, the amount of replenishment can be reduced by using means for suppressing the accumulation of bromide ions in the developer.

The time for color development treatment is usually set between 2 and 5 minutes, but the treatment time can be further shortened by using high temperature and pH and using a high concentration of color development crude drug.

After color development, the photographic emulsion bath is usually bleached.

The bleaching process may be carried out simultaneously with the fixing process (bleach-fixing process) or separately. Furthermore, in order to speed up the processing, a processing method may be used in which bleaching is followed by bleach-fixing. Furthermore, treatment with two consecutive bleach-fixing baths, fixing treatment before bleach-fixing treatment, or bleaching treatment after bleach-fixing treatment can be carried out as desired depending on the purpose.

-95,630 is preferred. Furthermore, the compounds described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,552,834 are also preferred. These bleaching accelerators may be added to sensitive materials. Accelerators are particularly effective.

In addition to the above-mentioned compounds, the bleaching solution and bleach-fixing solution preferably contain an organic acid for the purpose of preventing bleach staining. Particularly preferred organic acids have an acid dissociation constant (pKa) of 2.
-5, specifically acetic acid, propionic acid, etc. are preferred.

Examples of fixing agents used in fixing solutions and bleach-fixing solutions include thiosulfates, thiocyanates, thioether compounds, thioureas, and large amounts of iodide salts, but thiosulfates are commonly used. Among them, ammonium thiosulfate is the most widely used. It is also preferable to use a combination of thiosulfate, thiocyanate, thioether compounds, thiourea, etc. As a preservative for fixing solutions and bleach-fixing solutions, sulfites, bisulfites, carbonyl bisulfite adducts, or European patented The sulfinic acid compounds described in No. 294769A are preferred. Furthermore, it is preferable to add various aminopolycarboxylic acids and organic phosphonic acids to the fixing solution and bleach-fixing solution for the purpose of stabilizing the solution.

In the present invention, the fixer or bleach-fixer contains a compound having a pKa of 6.0 to 9.0 for pH adjustment, preferably imidazole, l-methylimidazole, 1-ethylimidazole, or 2-methylimidazole. It is preferable to add imidazoles such as 0.1 to 10 mol/1.

The total time of the desilvering process is preferably as short as possible without causing desilvering defects. The preferred time is 1 minute to 3 minutes, more preferably 1 minute to 2 minutes. In addition, the processing temperature is 25°C ~
50°C, preferably 35°C to 45°C. In a preferred temperature range, the desilvering rate is improved and the occurrence of staining after processing is effectively prevented.

In the desilvering process, it is preferable to strengthen the stirring as much as possible.A specific method for strengthening the stirring is to impinge a jet of processing liquid on the emulsion surface of a photosensitive material as described in JP-A-62-183460. Method and JP-A-62-183
No. 461, a method of increasing the stirring effect using a rotating means, and further improving the stirring effect by moving the photosensitive material while bringing the emulsion surface into contact with a wiper blade provided in the liquid to create turbulence on the emulsion surface. Examples include a method of increasing the circulation flow rate of the entire treatment liquid. Such means for improving agitation is effective for all bleaching solutions, bleach-fixing solutions, and fixing solutions. It is believed that improved stirring speeds up the supply of bleach and fixing agent into the emulsion film, and as a result increases the desilvering rate. Further, the agitation improving means described above is more effective when a bleach accelerator is used, and can significantly increase the accelerating effect and eliminate the fixing inhibiting effect caused by the bleach accelerator.

The automatic developing machine used for the photosensitive material of the present invention is
No. 0-191257, No. 60-191258, No. 60
It is preferable to have the photosensitive material conveying means described in Japanese Patent Application No. 191259. As described in the above-mentioned Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 60-191257, such a conveying means can significantly reduce the carry-over of the processing liquid from the front bath to the rear bath, and is highly effective in preventing deterioration of the performance of the processing liquid. Such effects are particularly effective in shortening the processing time in each step and reducing the amount of processing liquid replenishment.

The silver halide color photographic light-sensitive material of the present invention is generally subjected to water washing and/or stabilization steps after desilvering treatment.

The amount of water used in the washing process depends on the characteristics of the photosensitive material (for example, depending on the materials used such as couplers), the application, the temperature of the washing water, the number of washing tanks (number of stages), the replenishment method such as countercurrent or forward flow, and various other conditions. Can be set over a wide range. Among these, the relationship between the number of washing tanks and the amount of water in the multistage countercurrent method is
urn-al of the 5ociety of
Motion Picture and Te1e-v
ision Engtneers Volume 64, P, 248
253 (May 1955 issue).

According to the multi-stage countercurrent method described in the above-mentioned literature, the amount of water used for washing can be significantly reduced, but due to the increase in the residence time of water in the tank, bacteria will breed, and the generated suspended matter will adhere to the photosensitive material. The problem arises. In the processing of color photosensitive materials of the present invention, as a solution to these problems,
The method for reducing calcium ions and magnesium ions described in JP-A No. 62-288.838 can be used very effectively. Also, JP-A-57-8.542

(1986) may also be used.

The pH of the washing water in the processing of the photosensitive material of the present invention is 4 to 4.
9, preferably 5-8. The washing water temperature and washing time can be set variously depending on the characteristics of the photosensitive material, its use, etc., but in general, it is 20 seconds to 10 minutes at 15 to 45°C, preferably 30 seconds to 5 minutes at 25 to 40''C. Furthermore, instead of washing with water, the photosensitive material of the present invention can be directly treated with a stabilizing solution.In such a stabilizing treatment, JP-A-57-8543, JP-A-57-5B- 148
All known methods described in No. 34 and No. 60-220345 can be used.

Further, following the water washing treatment, a further stabilization treatment may be carried out. For example, a stabilization bath containing a dye stabilizer and a surfactant, which is used as a final bath for a color light-sensitive material for side shadows, may be further carried out. can be mentioned. Examples of the dye stabilizer include aldehydes such as formalin and glutaraldehyde, N-methylol compounds, hexamethylenetetramine, and aldehyde sulfite adducts.

Various chelating agents and antifungal agents can also be added to this stabilizing bath.

The overflow liquid from water washing and/or replenishment of the stabilizing liquid can be reused in other processes such as the desilvering process.

When each of the above-mentioned processing liquids is concentrated by evaporation in processing using an automatic processor or the like, it is preferable to correct the concentration by adding water.

The silver halide color light-sensitive material of the present invention may contain a color developing agent for the purpose of simplifying and speeding up processing. In order to incorporate the color developing agent, it is preferable to use various precursors of the color developing agent. For example, U.S. Patent No. 3,342,59

Various treatment liquids in the present invention are used at 10°C to 50°C. Normally, a temperature of 33°C to 38°C is standard, but higher temperatures can be used to accelerate processing and shorten processing time, or lower temperatures can be used to improve image quality and stability of the processing solution. can be achieved.

Further, the silver halide photosensitive material of the present invention is disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 4,
No. 500,626, Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 1133449, No. 5
It can also be applied to the heat-developable photosensitive materials described in No. 9-218443, No. 61-238056, European Patent No. 210,660A2, and the like.

Next, a silver halide color photographic light-sensitive material provided with a photographic information recording portion will be explained. That is, the present invention provides information recording capability by imparting information recording ability to a photographic film package consisting of a cartridge, a spool rotatably supported around an axis inside the cartridge, and a photographic film wound around the spool. You can achieve your goals. It is preferable to use a photographic film package that allows various types of information to be input manually, not only during the manufacturing process, but also during the photographing stage, the printing process in the laboratory, and during reprinting.

The photographic film is formed so that the area of one frame of the image exposure section is 350 x 2 or more and 1200 x 2 or less, and the photographic film has a portion capable of recording optical information whose area is equal to the area of one frame of the image exposure section. In a more preferred embodiment, the photographic film or the cartridge is provided with at least one of an electrical storage means and a magnetic storage means. By using at least two types of information recording means in combination, it becomes easy to input various information easily and reliably at times such as film manufacturing, photographing, development, printing, and reprinting.

Specific examples of information that is effective in the present invention include shooting information (presence of strobe, color temperature, LV value, shooting distance, lens focal length, subject contrast, shooting date and time, shooting location, etc.), film Examples include information (film type, film manufacturing date, printing conditions, etc.), laboratory information (lab salt, development date, printing conditions during simultaneous printing, etc.).

By effectively utilizing this information, it is possible to improve the image quality of prints.

In order to maintain the image quality of the print, the area of the image exposure section-frame needs to be 350 aa++'' or more.

Furthermore, if the area becomes 1200 m+" or more, the area of the part that can be used for recording information as an optical means decreases, so the area of the image exposure section - frame should be 350 m" or more 12
The width of the photographic film is preferably 3511 m in consideration of compatibility with current laboratory systems.

In a preferred embodiment, the optical information recordable portion is provided outside the image exposure area in the width direction of the photographic film.

In a preferred embodiment, a semiconductor device is used as the electrical storage means provided in the cartridge.

Furthermore, another preferred implementation 1! In some cases, the photographic film or cartridge is provided with magnetic storage means.

Current photographic films often have photographic film manufacturing information written manually on the outside of the perforation on either the left or right side. If you try to input various information in addition to this manufacturing information using the barcode method, inputting one row on each side of the photographic film will not provide enough input space, so at least two rows of human space on one side are required. .

Therefore, it is necessary to increase the ratio of the area of the optical information recordable part to the area of the image exposure part-frame from the current 11% to 15%. Even when a recording method other than barcodes is adopted, the information density is not much different and the same area ratio is required.

On the other hand, since it is desirable that the area of the image exposure section be large, a preferable upper limit of the ratio of the optical information recordable area to the area of the image exposure section-frame is determined in consideration of this point.

The upper limit of this ratio is preferably 30%, more preferably 20%.

Alternatively, for example, by removing the perforations, it is also possible to increase the area of the optical information recordable portion without reducing the area of the image exposure portion. In this case, in place of the usual 135-format perforations, it is preferable to use four or less perforations or notches per frame, and particularly preferably two or less perforations or notches for positioning the screen.

In this specification, the ratio of the area of the optical information recordable portion to the area of the image exposure portion-frame shall be defined as follows. As shown in Figure 1, the image exposure area - the horizontal length of the frame is a, the vertical length is b, and the width of the photographic film is C.
Then, the film area A for -frame is A=aXc, the area B of the image exposure part is B=aXb, and the area C of the optical information recordable part is C=A-B=aX (c-b). Therefore, the area ratio of the optical information recordable portion is C/A=
(A-B)/A-(c-b)/c. Note that, as a matter of course, it is not necessary to always utilize all of the optical information recordable portions, and it is sufficient to utilize them for information recording depending on the purpose. It is important to provide sufficient information storage capacity.

In the photographic film of the photographic film cartridge according to the present invention, the optical information recordable portion is preferably formed outside the image exposure area in the width direction of the photographic film. This is because if an optical information recordable portion is formed between the image exposure portions, the total length of the photographic film increases, which is disadvantageous in making the camera thinner. Furthermore, if an optical information recording section is formed between the perforations, a very complicated camera mechanism is required to input and read information into the section. For this reason, it is formed between the image exposure areas or between the perforations, and is formed outside the image exposure areas.

Preferably, the character information is input in the form of characters or barcodes.

It is preferable to input various information during film production or photography using optical means that utilizes the photosensitivity of photographic film, from the viewpoint of simplifying the manufacturing process, downsizing the camera, and reducing costs. It is preferable to input and read information for checking the usage status (unused, used, number of shots, etc.) using magnetic or electrical means, since there is no need to develop the film.

Further, it is preferable to input various information in the laboratory using magnetic means or electric means, since this allows information to be input even after the film is developed.

Generally, it is suitable to input information using optical means during photographing and using magnetic means after development. For example, in order to magnetically transfer information from a camera onto photographic film during shooting, it is necessary to maintain a constant relative speed between the film and the magnetic head, but in order to do this, the camera must be equipped with a complex mechanism. must, for this reason,
For information input during photographing, optical means that utilize the photosensitivity of photographic film are superior because of their reliability and simplicity.

On the other hand, once the photographic film has been developed, it is no longer possible to use optical means that utilize the photosensitivity of the photographic film, so it is necessary to use magnetic means.

The semiconductor element used as electrical storage means is EEFR.
Although it is preferable that the semiconductor element, which is preferably an OM or the like, be attached to the cartridge, the cartridge and the semiconductor element may be separated and separately loaded into the camera. Furthermore, an IC card containing a microcomputer and an EEPROM can also be used as the electrical storage means.

As the magnetic storage means, transparent magnetic bases shown in US Pat. Nos. 4,302,523, 3,782,947, and 4,279,945 are preferred. The advantages of this transparent magnetic base are that information regarding the film screen can be input at a position adjacent to the film screen, and that the optical information recording section can also be used as a magnetic information recording section. The magnetic information recording layer can also be formed only outside the image-exposed area. In this case, the magnetic information recording layer may be opaque.

When the cartridge is provided with magnetic information recording means, information regarding the DX code and the usage status of the film can be input and output to this magnetic means. It is preferable that the information regarding the film usage status input into the cartridge can be checked without removing the film from the cartridge. Methods for providing magnetic recording means in the cartridge include attaching magnetic tape to the cartridge, molding the cartridge from a polymer mixed and dispersed with a magnetic material to give the cartridge a magnetic recording function, and using ink containing a magnetic material dispersed therein. There are methods for printing cartridges, etc.

In order to prevent the information input by optical means from disappearing due to so-called "light fog", the cartridge is preferably of a light-tight type (for example, the one described in Utility Model Application No. 1-17253).

Next, how to utilize the information recorded in the photographing information recording section will be explained. A method for estimating the photographing light source has been proposed in Tokugansho. As shown in FIG. 7, the color photographic printing apparatus (printer) includes a mirror box 18 and a lamp house 10 equipped with a halogen lamp arranged below a negative carrier 12 that conveys a negative film 20 to a printing section. There is. A light control filter 60 is arranged between the mirror box 18 and the lamp house 10. Light control filter 6
0 is composed of three color filters: a Y (yellow) filter, an M (magenta) filter, and a C (cyan) filter, as is well known.

A lens 22 , a black shutter 24 , and a color vapor 26 are arranged in this order above the negative carrier 12 .
, the mirror box 1 and the negative film 20 are configured so that the light beams transmitted through the mirror box 1 and the negative film 20 are imaged onto the color paper 26 by the lens 22.

A two-dimensional image sensor 3 that divides a negative image into a large number of parts and measures the image density of the negative film 20 in a direction oblique to the optical axis of the imaging optical system and at a position where the image density of the negative film 20 can be measured.
0 is placed.

As shown in FIG. 8, the negative film 20 records information 34 indicating whether a strobe is used, information 35 indicating the LV value, and information 36 at the time of photography indicating the date and time of photography.
, object contrast information 37 is printed. Information 34 indicating whether the strobe is used is recorded by a mark or the like when the strobe is used, and information 35 indicating the LV value is recorded.
The LV (II) at the time of photography is recorded as a barcode. Also, the date of photography (the year may be added) and time of photography are used as the photography information 3G, and this information at the time of photography is recorded by the camera. The date and time imprinting mechanism is used to print the image when the photograph is taken.The object contrast information 37 is recorded based on, for example, the measured value of a split photometer installed in the camera.

In Figure 7, information is recorded using numbers, barcodes, and marks, but all information may be recorded as numbers, barcodes, or marks, or optical marks displayed with light emitting diodes or the like may be used. You can. Furthermore, the position where information is recorded on the film is not limited to the position shown in FIG. It may be recorded in the department.

On the upstream side of the negative carrier 12, at a position where the information recorded on the film can be read, there is a first sensor 14 that optically reads information 34 indicating whether a strobe is used and LV value information 35, and a first sensor 14 that optically reads information 36 at the time of photographing. A second sensor 16 that optically reads object contrast information 37 and a third sensor 17 that optically reads object contrast information 37 are arranged. The first sensor 14, the second sensor 16, the third sensor 17, and the two-dimensional image sensor 30 are connected to a control circuit composed of a microcomputer. A keyboard 32 for inputting data and the like is connected to the control circuit 2. Further, the control circuit 28 is connected to control the dimming filter 60.

Next, the burning control routine by the microcomputer will be explained.

FIG. 5 shows the printing processing routine of this embodiment. In step 100, information detected by the first sensor 14, the second sensor and the two-dimensional image sensor 30 is read, and in step 102, the use of a strobe is determined. Based on the information 34 shown, it is determined whether or not a strobe has been used, and if the strobe has been used, step 106
When the strobe is being used, the color temperature of the object illumination light is estimated in step 104, that is, the light quality is estimated, and then the process proceeds to step 104.The details of the color temperature estimation routine will be described later. In step 106, a color correction value C1 and a constant K are set according to the estimated light quality.
j, etc., and in step 108, for example, the following (
Exposure control value Ej is calculated based on Equation 11.

Then, in step 110, the exposure control value E
Burning is performed by controlling the light control filter 60 based on j.

In addition, the color correction value Cj, constant Kj, and slope control value S according to the light quality in step 106 above.
etc. will be changed as follows.

In order to correct the change in the reciprocity law failure characteristics, change the slope control value S.

■ Change the color correction value Cj and constant Kj to correct the sensitivity balance due to changes in color temperature.

■ To compensate for scene differences, the average image density ND
Change j.

ψ ■ Change the color correction run value Cj and constant Kj in order to correct the sensitivity balance due to changes in color temperature.

■ To compensate for scene differences, the average image density ND
Change j.

Further, based on the estimated color temperature, a color correction value Cj of image density is set, which changes the color tone due to a change in the color temperature of the object illumination light. When the estimated color temperature is below a predetermined value, that is, when the subject is illuminated with low color temperature light (for example, sunset, tungsten light, etc.), the correction by the color correction value Cj is weak. Or it is set to a value that causes no correction. In other words, if the color correction value Cjζ0.5 is set to be printed in the lower correction, color correction will be performed, but light source color correction will not be performed, and tungsten light will have a strong YR flavor. Based on the color temperature estimated for color reproduction, a color correction value Cj of an image density whose color tone changes with a change in the color temperature of the object illumination light is set. When the estimated color temperature is below a predetermined value, that is, when the subject is illuminated with low color temperature light (for example, sunset, tungsten light, etc.), the correction by the color correction value Cj is weak. Or it is set to a value that causes no correction. In other words, if the color correction value Cjζ is set to 0.5, the color correction value Cjζ is set to be printed with the lower corrector, the color area correction will be performed, but the light source color correction will not be performed.
Tungsten light reproduces colors with a strong YR taste. In addition, in the case of weak high correction, for example, when the color correction value Cj = 1.3, color area correction is not performed and only light source color correction is performed, and when the subject illumination light is tungsten light, tungsten color is I will have the remaining amount. As described above, by making the correction based on the color correction value weak or not making any correction, the color of the object illumination light is reflected in the print, and it is possible to create a print that matches the drawing intention. The correction is set to be stronger when the estimated color temperature is high color temperature light (for example, cloudy weather, shade, etc.). For example, if the color correction value Cj is set to 2.0, only the light source correction is performed in the same way as above, and tungsten light is printed in daylight color.

At this time, the image density does not change depending on the color temperature of the object illumination light (image density other than the shaded area in Figure 6).
The color correction value Cj of is set to the same value as in step 104.

In FIG. 9, vector A is color correction value C
It indicates the degree to which the image density, including the color of the object illumination light, contributes to the exposure control value when j is small (for example, 0.5), and the vector A' has a color correction value slightly larger than 1 (for example, , 1.3), and vector A'' indicates the contribution of the image density to the exposure control value when the color correction value is large (for example, 2.0). This indicates the size of the contribution to

As can be understood from the figure, as the color correction value increases, the image density is corrected to become closer to the average image density ab.

As described above, the average image density NDj and the slope control [S
At least one or more of the following conditions are determined in advance, and the printing exposure amount is calculated by selecting one according to the light quality.

Next, a color temperature estimation method will be explained. First, the 10th
The first estimation method will be explained with reference to the figures and FIG. In this case, light source color information is obtained by exposing a position outside the screen corresponding to the subject shooting screen of the film with the subject illumination light at the same amount as the subject exposure amount or an exposure amount that is a fixed ratio to the subject exposure amount. FIG. 11 shows the relationship between the image density j and the difference between the exposure density (light source color density) LDj and the average image density NDj due to off-screen object illumination light. As understood from FIG. 11, the color difference LDj −ND
The relationship between j and color j is that when the color temperature of the subject illumination light is low, the slope is a positive straight line B, when the color temperature is high, the slope is a negative straight line, and when the color temperature is standard, the slope is parallel to the j axis. It becomes a straight line C.

Further, when the object illumination light is fluorescent lamp light, the curve A is upwardly convex. Therefore, in the color temperature estimation routine shown in FIG. 10, the light source color density LDj, average image density NDj, and image density j are captured in step 120, and based on the data captured in step 122, the captured data curves along the straight line B-C. It is determined by calculation whether curve A is indicated or curve A is indicated. In the next step 124, it is determined whether or not the determination result indicates a straight line. If it is not a straight line, that is, in the case of a curved line, in step 126, the light quality is determined to be fluorescent light and is stored in a predetermined area of the RAM. .

If it is determined in step 124 that the slope is a straight line, steps 128 and 132 determine whether the slope is positive, negative, or 0.
If the slope is positive, it is determined in step 130 that the light has a low color temperature (for example, light with a color temperature of 4500° K or less), and if the slope is negative, it is determined that the light is high color temperature light (for example, If the slope is 0, it is determined in step 134 that the light is standard light (for example, light with a color temperature of 4500 to 6000°), and each light is stored in a predetermined area of the RAM. to be memorized.

The second color temperature estimation method is a method using image average densities R, G, and B. As shown in FIG. 12, if the horizontal axis is the color difference R-G and the vertical axis is the color difference G-B, the region P existing in the first quadrant is the region where the color difference of low color temperature light exists, and the third quadrant is the region P where the color difference of low color temperature light exists. The region Q existing in is a region where color difference of high color temperature light exists. Therefore, the difference in average image density GB, RG is the area P,
By determining which of Q it belongs to, it is possible to determine whether the color temperature of the object illumination light is high or low, that is, the light quality of the object illumination light.

Next, a third method of estimating color temperature will be explained.

This method uses information at the time of photographing, that is, the date and time of photographing. When using this method, the sunrise time SQ, sunset time S2, and time X until the sun becomes high for each month and day of the region where the printer is installed are set in accordance with the season. For example, this time X is I in the summer, 3 in the winter, and 1 in the southern region.
, is set to 3 in the northern part. The color temperature estimation routine will be explained with reference to FIG. In step 140, the photographing time information 36 is fetched to fetch the photographing date and time T, and in step 142, the sunrise time SQ, sunset time Sl, and time X corresponding to the photographing date are fetched. In step 144, the photographing time T is compared with the time SQ+X at which time X has elapsed since sunrise.
6, the photographing time T and the time S which is X hours before sunset
Compare l−χ. When SQ+≦T≦5r-x, it is determined that the object illumination light is daylight, the fact that it is daylight is stored in the RAM in step 148, and the color temperature estimation method described above is used in step 150. to estimate color temperature.

When T<SQ+χ, in steps 152 and 154, the photographing time T and the time 5 one hour before sunrise are set.
Q-1,0, time 5Q-0, 0.5 hours before sunrise.
Compare with 5. When T<5Q-1,0, it is determined that it is nighttime and the process proceeds to step 150. Also, 5Q-1,0≦T≦
When 5Q-0, 5, it is 30 minutes to 1 hour before sunrise, so it is determined in step 158 that the color temperature is high, that is, the object illumination light is high color temperature light. Also SQ+X
When <T≦5Q-0,5, the time is from 30 minutes before sunrise until the sun becomes high, so it is determined in step 156 that the color temperature is low, that is, the object illumination light is low color temperature light.

When T>5l-X, 0.5 from sunset as above
Time SI+0', 5 at which time has elapsed, time SI+1.0 at which one hour has elapsed since sunset, and photographing time T are compared, respectively. If the photographing time T has exceeded 1.0 hours after sunset, it is determined that it is nighttime and the process proceeds to step 150, and the color temperature is high at times from 0.5 hours to 1 hour after sunset ( Step 1
The process proceeds to step 66, and when Sl-χ<T≦SI+0.5, it is determined that the color temperature is low (low color temperature light), and the process proceeds to step 164, where each color temperature is stored in the RAM.

Next, a fourth method of color temperature estimation will be explained based on FIG. 14. This method uses the LV value (EV value), that is, the light amount value at the time of shooting. Normally, low color temperature light is not bright, and using the small LV value, it is possible to differentiate between yellow banks and low color temperature light. It is a distinction between In step 170, it is determined whether the LV value is greater than or equal to a predetermined value, and when the LV value is greater than or equal to the predetermined value, it is determined that the color temperature is high (high color temperature light), and the light is stored in the RAM in step 172. Furthermore, when the LV value is less than a predetermined value, the color temperature is estimated using the other method described above.

Next, a fifth method of estimating color temperature (light quality) will be explained based on FIG. 15. In step 180, it is determined whether the LV value is less than a predetermined value (for example, 4), and when the LV value is less than the predetermined value, in step 182, an image feature amount, for example, G density is calculated. It is determined whether the light is G-flavored or not based on the intensity, and if it is G-flavored, it is determined that the light is fluorescent light and is stored in the RAM.

On the other hand, when the LV value is greater than or equal to the predetermined value, if the taste is not G, the color temperature is estimated in step 186 using another method as described above.

By combining the above-mentioned second method and fourth method, or by combining the second, third and fourth methods, it is possible to accurately estimate whether the light is tungsten light or fluorescent lamp light.

The object contrast information 37 is also reflected in information that controls printing conditions in a similar manner, mainly in the algorithm that determines printing time, so that negatives that have shooting information and are shot using the photographic film package of the present invention can be transferred to the printer. Automatic printing by the system gives good results.

In addition, although the above example describes an example in which information indicating whether a strobe is used, information at the time of shooting, etc. is recorded on the film, a magnetic recording part connected to the film or a magnetic card, an I
A storage means such as a C card or an IC may be attached and the information may be stored in this storage means.

From Table 6, photographic film packages (1) and (II[) using sample 101 always received poor evaluations.

However, with a photographic film package using Sample 102 with improved sharpness, depending on the shooting conditions, there are cases where good results can be obtained (condition B), but there are cases where no effect can be obtained at all (condition A). In contrast, it can be seen that the photographic film package of the present invention can stably produce prints with excellent sharpness.

This effect is obtained by combining information such as object contrast with a film having excellent sharpness.
