Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method for printing a photographic film on which a photographed image is recorded and a photographic film in which frames of different print sizes are mixed.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Generally, the size of an image captured by a camera is the same on one negative film, but a panoramic image whose field of view is enlarged in the horizontal direction is sometimes captured. The size of this panoramic image is shortened in the vertical direction (width direction of the negative film), which is a part of one frame on a negative film, and the ratio of the horizontal length to the vertical length is usually 2 Has doubled. Further, as a size in which the field of view is expanded in the horizontal direction, there is also a cinemascope size.

Here, in the case of printing on a printing paper on the same scale of full size, panorama size and cinemascope size, the panorama size print frame or cinemascope size is larger than the enlargement ratio when printing the full size print frame. It is necessary to increase the enlargement ratio when printing the print frame, and the mask area of the negative film and the printing range of the printing paper also differ. That is, it is necessary to change the mask area of the negative film, the photographic paper conveyance direction, and the photographic paper conveyance distance according to each size.
Further, in some cases, it is necessary to change the size of the printing paper, change the processing conditions, and change the negative film transport direction.

In such a case, the printing conditions are changed for each image frame having a different print designation size and the images are sequentially printed one by one, or one size print is first performed and then a printer dedicated to another size print is newly made. It is necessary to extract and print only different size print frames using.

[0005]

However, in printing a film in which image frames having different print sizes are mixed, it is necessary to change the printing conditions such as the printing magnification for each frame in the above two methods. On the other hand, in the method of performing each printing separately, it is necessary to prepare a plurality of printers and set the film a plurality of times.
Furthermore, it is very laborious to collate the finished prints at several places against the negative film without error and finish both prints uniformly.

Further, in the case of a panorama size print or a cinemascope print, the printing magnification is high, and the image quality is deteriorated by that much. ..

Further, at present, in fields other than photography, sizes other than those mentioned above, for example, high-definition size, have become widespread, and in the field of silver halide photography, it is necessary to cope with such various print sizes. But
Different during simultaneous printing A. R. (Aspect ratio), that is, it is not possible to specify print by the screen ratio.

In view of the above facts, the present invention provides at least 3
It is an object to obtain a photographic film capable of discriminating print designation sizes of different types.

In addition to the above object, it is another object of the present invention to provide a photographic printing method capable of efficiently printing a film in which at least three types of print-specified size frames are mixed.

[0010]

According to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a photographic film in which image frames in which at least three kinds of print sizes are designated are mixed, and the print designation sizes are high aspect ratios, respectively. It has a medium aspect ratio and a low aspect ratio, and basically has image frames of medium aspect ratio, and is characterized by having information indicating a designated print size corresponding to each image frame.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the photographic film according to the first aspect, the image frame sizes recorded at the time of shooting are all the same size.

According to a third aspect of the present invention, in the photographic film according to the second aspect, a print range at the time of simultaneous printing with a designated print size is displayed.

The invention according to claim 4 is characterized in that, in the photographic film according to any one of claims 1 to 3, the medium aspect ratio is in the range of 1.7 to 1.9.

A fifth aspect of the present invention is a photographic printing method using the photographic film according to any one of the first to fourth aspects, wherein the information provided for each image frame is read. Then, based on the read information, printing is performed at a printing magnification that makes the print width constant.

[0015]

According to the first aspect of the present invention, since the information indicating the print designated size classified into the high aspect ratio, the medium aspect ratio and the low aspect ratio is provided corresponding to each image frame, each of them is provided. It is possible to recognize the print designation size of the image frame, and it is possible to print with the designated print size by applying a predetermined mask.

Further, since the image frame size is based on the medium spect ratio, the printing magnification can be lowered when printing a frame having a high aspect ratio and a designated print size.

According to the second aspect of the invention, since the image frame sizes are all the same size, it is easy to manage and it is possible to change the designated print size when reordering.

According to the third aspect of the present invention, since the print range when simultaneously printing with the designated print size is displayed, the image frame and the print processed with the predetermined designated print size in this image frame are displayed. It becomes easy to match with and.

As described in claim 4,
The medium aspect ratio range is from 1.7 to 1.9.
As a result, the HDTV size belongs to the medium aspect ratio. Further, since the conventional full size belongs to the low aspect ratio and the panorama size or the cinemascope size belongs to the high aspect ratio, various sizes currently standardized can be classified.

According to the fifth aspect of the present invention, when the information provided on the photographic film is read and the print processing is performed based on the read information, the enlargement ratio is set so that the print width becomes constant. Since the printing is set and the printing condition is changed, the printing efficiency can be reduced and the printing process can be performed.

The amount of these color filters 12A, 12B, and 12C to be inserted into the optical path is adjusted by the film adjusting unit 14, whereby the ratio and intensity of the three color components of the printing light are adjusted. Further, the diffusion box 15 has diffusion plates arranged on both end surfaces of a rectangular tube whose inner surface is a mirror surface, and sufficiently diffuses the color-corrected printing light.

The printing light passing through the diffusion box 15 irradiates the negative film 18 on the film carrier 16 arranged at the printing position. The negative film 18 belongs to the middle range of the aspect ratio (A.R.) as shown in FIG.
It is a long film with a size of 1.78.

The negative film 18 is moved in the forward direction indicated by the solid line (to the right in FIG. 4) while the print of the fill size and the print of the high definition size are performed by the feed roller pairs 20 and 22 arranged at both ends of the negative carrier. During the Cinemascope size printing, the images are transferred in the opposite directions (leftward in FIG. 4) indicated by the dotted lines. The pair of feed rollers 20 and 22 are linked by a chain or the like, and are normally rotated and reversely rotated by a pulse motor 24. Further, a film mask 26 for maintaining the flatness of the negative film 18 is arranged on the negative film 18. The film mask 26 has a hole 26A for full size, a hole 26B for high-definition size, and a hole 2 for cinemascope size 2.
6C are provided and can be switched to each other by the motor 27.

A film edge detection sensor 28 is arranged on the left side of the film carrier 16 in FIG. 4, and detects the leading edge and the trailing edge of the negative film 18. That is, when the negative film 18 runs forward, the rear end of the negative film 18 is detected, and when it runs backward, the leading end is detected.

A bar code reader 29 is arranged near the film edge detection 28. The barcode reader 29 reads the barcode 102 attached to the negative film 18 and outputs it to the controller 61. The controller 61 selects the designated print size based on the input signal and sets the printing condition.

The printing light transmitted through the negative film 18 reaches the color paper 42 whose exposure range is regulated by the paper mask 40 through the printing zoom lens 38, and the image on the negative film 18 is displayed on the color paper 42. Expose. The zoom lens 38 is driven by a motor 44,
It is possible to adjust the draw ratio during baking. Further, the paper mask 40 is driven by the motor 46 in the longitudinal direction of the color paper 42, and the exposure range is adjusted depending on the print size of full size / high-vision size / cinema scope size. The color paper 42 is pulled out from the paper roll 48, reaches the pair of pull-out rollers 51 driven by the pulse motor 50 via the guide roller 49. And paper mask 4
The exposed portion is cut by a cutter 52 arranged beside 0 and is wound again in a roll shape so as to be sent to a photographic developing device (not shown).

Between the zoom lens 38 and the color paper 42, the shutter 5 which is opened and closed by the shutter drive section 53.
4 is arranged, and exposure is performed by opening the shutter 54 for a certain period of time.

A scanner 56 consisting of an image sensor and a lens is arranged diagonally above the print position and measures the transmitted light at each point of the frame set at the print position. The output signal of the scanner 56 is supplied to the characteristic value extraction unit 57 described later.

Next, the structure of the control unit of the photo printing apparatus according to this embodiment will be described.

The characteristic value extraction unit 57 is provided with a scanner 56.
Based on the output signal of, the characteristic values such as the average transmission density and the minimum density are extracted for each frame for each color. The exposure amount calculation unit 58 calculates the exposure amount using these characteristic values and sends it to the controller 61 described later.

The print controller 66 is a controller 61.
Drivers 65, 67, 68, 69 based on signals from
Through the pulse motors 50, 44, 46 and the motor 27
Is controlled to convey a predetermined amount of paper, and the zoom lens 38 and the paper mask 40 are driven to adjust the printing magnification and the masking range.

The controller 61, based on the input signals from the film edge detection sensor 28 and the screen detection device 30,
The drive of the pulse motor 24 is controlled via the driver 72. More specifically, after the print start operation is performed, first, the motor 24 is rotated in the forward direction to perform full-size printing, and the negative film 18 is transferred in the forward direction (right direction) one frame at a time. The moving position of the negative film 18 is detected by counting the drive pulses supplied to the motor 24 with a pulse counter. To position the frame at the print position, the screen detection device 3
This is performed by counting the number of drive pulses after receiving signals from the density sensors 32A to 32E of 0 and determining whether or not the count value has reached a certain value. In addition, the motor 24 is rotated in the reverse direction to perform cinemascope size printing, and the negative film 18 is moved in the reverse direction (left direction).
Cinemascope size This frame is positioned at the print position based on the position information of the print frame.

The controller 61 controls the printing apparatus as a whole, and controls the filter adjusting section 14 and the shutter driving section 53 based on the signal from the exposure amount calculating section 58.

Next, the operation of the above embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

First, when the negative film 18 is set on the film carrier 16 and the print start button (not shown) is pressed, the flag F is reset (0) at step 200, and then at step 201, a full size image is printed. After setting the conditions, the process proceeds to step 202. In step 202, the transfer of the negative film 18 in the forward direction starts under the control of the controller 61. In step 203, it is judged whether or not it is the film end, and if the judgment is negative, the process proceeds to step 204. Step 2
In 04, the bar code 10 attached to the negative film 18
2 is read to determine the designated print size, and the result is stored in step 206.

In step 208, it is determined whether or not the determination result is a full size print frame, and if it is a full size print frame, the process proceeds to step 210 to stop the conveyance of the negative film 18. If it is determined that the image is a cinemascope size print frame or a high definition size print frame, the process moves to step 203,
Continue transportation.

Next, in step 212, the printing light emitted from the light source 10 is converted into the color filters 12A, 12B, 12.
After passing through C and the diffusion box 15, the negative film 18 is irradiated. Then, the scanner 56 detects the light transmitted through the frame of the negative film 18, the exposure amount calculation unit 58 calculates the exposure amount, and then sends it to the controller 61.

When the frame set at the print position is a full size print frame, the controller 61 adjusts the insertion amount of the color filters 12A, 12B, 12C into the optical path according to the exposure amount. After this adjustment, the shutter 54 is opened for a certain period of time, and the negative film 1 is moved by the zoom lens 38.
The first frame on No. 8 is printed in full size on the color paper 42 (step 214). At this time, the zoom lens 38 is fixed at the standard magnification, and the paper mask 40 is set at a position within the standard range.

Thereafter, in the same manner as described above, the negative film 18 is moved one frame at a time to the right by the drive of the motor 24 to print only on the full size print frame, and at the same time, the cinemascope size print frame and the high vision size print frame are printed. Pass to print only full-size print frames.

When the end detection sensor 28 detects the end of the negative film 18 in step 202 during this full-size printing process, the process proceeds to step 215, where a cinemascope size frame is present in one negative film,
In step 216, the cinemascope size print conditions such as enlargement ratio and paper feed amount are set to the conditions corresponding to the cinemascope size print frame, and the process proceeds to step 218.

If it is determined in step 215 that there is no cinemascope size frame, the process proceeds to step 219. The processing after step 219 will be described later.

At step 218, the negative film 18 is transported in the reverse direction. In the next step 220, it is judged whether or not the leading edge of the film has been detected. In the case of a negative judgment, the process moves to step 222 and the stored reading result in step 204 is read out, and in step 224, the printing position 2 is detected.
It is determined whether or not the frame before the frame is a cinemascope size print frame. If it is determined in step 224 that it is a cinemascope size print frame, the process moves to step 226 and the first cinemascope size print frame is set at the print position. Then, in step 228, the exposure amount is calculated, and the color filter 12 is calculated according to the calculation result.
Adjust A, 12B and 12C. Immediately after this, the shutter 54 is opened to perform cinemascope size printing (step 230).

Thereafter, by driving the motor 24, the frames for cinemascope size printing are set at the printing positions one after another, and the trimming printing is repeated by the same operation. At step 220, the end detection sensor 28 causes the end of the negative film 18 to move. When the flag is detected, the process proceeds to step 232, the flag F is set (1), and then the process proceeds to step 219.

In step 219, it is determined whether or not there is a high-definition print designation. If it is determined that there is a high-definition print designation, the flow proceeds to step 234 to determine whether or not the flag F is set. If step 219 determines that there is nothing, the process ends.

If it is determined in step 234 that the flag F has been reset, it means that the full-size printing has been completed, that is, the state has been conveyed to the end of the negative film 18, so that the process proceeds to step 236. Then, the negative film 18 is rewound. If the negative determination is made in step 234, that is, if the flag F is set, the negative film 18 is completely rewound while performing the cinemascope size printing, and therefore the step 236 jumps to the step 238.

At step 238, the high-definition size condition is set, and then at step 240, the negative film is conveyed in the forward direction.

At the next step 242, it is judged whether or not the end of the film has been detected. In the case of a negative judgment, the process moves to step 244 to read the stored reading result at step 204, and at step 246 the printing position. It is determined whether or not the frame two frames before is a high-definition size print frame. If it is determined in step 246 that it is a high-definition size print frame, the process moves to step 248 to set the first high-definition size print frame at the print position. Then, the exposure amount is calculated in step 250, and the color filters 12A and 12A are calculated according to the calculation result.
Adjust B and 12C. Immediately after this, the shutter 54 is opened to perform cinemascope size printing (step 2).
52).

Thereafter, the motor 24 is driven to set the frames for high-definition size printing one after another to the print position, and the printing is repeated by the same operation. At step 242, the end detection sensor 28 causes the negative film 18 to move.
When the end of is detected, the process ends.

As described above, since various print widths are constant, a single printing paper may be applied, and various print sizes can be collectively processed for printing.
Work efficiency does not decrease so much. At present, when the simultaneous print is ordered, the print processing is performed in the full size. However, if the cinema scope size applied to the present embodiment is set as the standard size for the simultaneous print, the longitudinal direction of the cinema scope size is increased. The size is almost A
Since it matches the 4 sizes, it is easy to determine the composition at the time of shooting, and it is easy to organize in an album.

In the present embodiment, the bar code 102 is used when the print designation size information is given to the negative film 18 at the time of photographing, but the identification mark may be printed in a region other than the image region of the negative film 18. Good. Also,
As shown in FIG. R. 6B, the base portion 18C is provided with the printing marks 130 indicating both ends of the print range, and as shown in FIG. R. In the case of designating, the print marks 132 indicating both ends of the print range may be provided between the image frames 18A. In addition, as shown in FIG. R. In the case of, the printing mark is unnecessary. In addition, such burning marks 130 and 132 and the barcode 10
It is preferable to use 2 together.

As described above, if the print range can be visually recognized, it is easy to collate the print returned by the simultaneous print with the negative film 18, and the dullness between the user and the laboratory can be improved. It also leads to the prevention of Furthermore, the designated size information may be stored by magnetic or electrical means, and may be read and identified at the time of printing. For example, recording is performed on a magnetic recording band provided on the back surface of the negative film 18, a memory of a film cartridge, an IC card, or the like.

In the present embodiment, the vertical ruled lines 122 and the horizontal ruled lines 124 are added to indicate the respective print size areas. However, as shown in FIG. A liquid crystal shutter 136 connected via a driver 134 to the 116 is attached, and the operation section 118 for designating the print size is provided on the side surface of the finder cover 138. Only the operated print area is linked with the operation section 118. The liquid crystal shutter 136 may be controlled so as to be transparent.

Further, in this embodiment, the high, medium and low A. R. From each one of A. R. However, for example, a panorama size print may be designated. This panorama size is shown in Table 1.
As shown in FIG. R. Belong to.
