Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a film carrier used in a photographic printing apparatus for printing a photo by printing a negative film.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a photographic printing apparatus for producing a print by performing a photographic printing process from a negative film to photographic paper, the negative film is held by a film carrier at a predetermined position where an image frame overlaps an opening for printing. By irradiating light through the printing opening, the printing paper is printed and exposed to produce a print.

By the way, in a photographic printing apparatus, a negative film may be zoom printed (expanded printing). In such a case, in the film carrier used in the conventional photographic printing apparatus, since the size (shape) of the printing opening is constant, there is a problem that flare occurs in the image printed on the printing paper. .

In this case, a mask plate having a printing opening of a size (shape) corresponding to a predetermined printing image range (mask area) of the negative film is provided, and when performing zoom printing, the mask plate is used. It has been proposed to prevent unnecessary flare from being generated by shading the unnecessary peripheral portions of the image frame of the negative film by shading.

However, in such flare prevention measures, it is necessary to manually shield or release the printing opening of the film carrier for each image frame of the negative film, which is troublesome.

Recently, the size of the image taken by the camera may be different on one negative film, for example, a panoramic image whose field of view is enlarged in the horizontal direction may be taken. The size of this panoramic image is shortened in the vertical direction (width direction of the negative film), and the ratio of the length in the horizontal direction to the length in the vertical direction is larger than a normal size (for example, about twice). . Therefore, even when printing on photographic paper at the same scale for full size and panorama size, the enlargement (zoom) ratio when printing panorama size print frames is larger than the enlargement ratio when printing full size print frames. And the mask area of the negative film will also be different. That is, it is necessary to change the mask area of the negative film according to each size.

For this reason, the film carrier used in the conventional photographic printing apparatus (see Japanese Patent Application No. 3-79682) has a main body portion of the film carrier for optimal printing processing corresponding to different print magnifications. A mechanism for changing the opening width of the provided exposure opening is provided, and the mask area of the negative film is changed according to the full size or panorama size.

However, since the mask area is usually fixed depending on the negative size to be printed, in a negative film in which a panoramic image and a full size image are mixed,
When printing a panoramic image, it was not possible to visually judge whether it was a full size image or a panoramic image because the mask area was small.

Further, in recent years, if a mechanism for changing the opening size of the exposure opening in the lengthwise direction of the negative film is provided in response to a half-size negative film that is in low demand, the cost of the apparatus increases, You can't expect the effect to be worth the cost.

[0010]

In consideration of the above facts, the present invention is capable of printing and exposing a negative film under optimum exposure conditions according to the print magnification of full size print, panorama size print and / or half size print. It is an object of the present invention to obtain a film carrier which is capable of preventing flare and improving the image quality.

[0011]

A film carrier according to claim 1, wherein the negative film is held at an exposure opening for printing and exposing the negative film and at a position where an image frame of the negative film overlaps the exposure opening. Used for a photographic printing apparatus for printing a photographic paper by exposing it to light by irradiating the negative film held by the negative film holding means with light through the exposure opening. In the film carrier described above, the negative film holding means has means for being detachable from the film carrier and for changing the baking opening.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, there is provided a film carrier comprising: an exposure opening for printing and exposing a negative film; and a negative film holding means for holding the negative film at a position where an image frame of the negative film overlaps the exposure opening. In the film carrier used in a photographic printing apparatus for producing a print by printing by exposing the negative film held by the negative film holding means through the exposure opening with light, The negative film holding means is characterized by having a printing opening variable means that can be attached to and detached from the film carrier and has an opening corresponding to the image size.

[0013]

In the film carrier according to the present invention, since the negative film holding means itself is provided with a mechanism for changing its printing opening, in the case of a negative film in which a panoramic image and a full size image are mixed, it is usually a negative film. By making the baking opening of the film holding means full size,
It is easy to visually judge whether it is a full size image or a panoramic image. Further, since the printing opening can be changed and the panoramic image or the full-size image can be dealt with by visual inspection or by recognizing the image by the machine, misprinting can be eliminated.

Further, since the negative film holding means can be attached to and detached from the main body of the film carrier, for example, in the case of a half size image, the negative film holding means having a half size opening for printing is mounted. Just enough. This eliminates the need for providing a complicated mechanism for changing the opening size in the lengthwise direction of the negative film in the exposure opening, and reduces the manufacturing cost of the apparatus.

Is provided (see FIG. 3), and the position of the cam 294 is detected.

The operation of the first embodiment will be described below with reference to the flow chart of FIG. Notcher puncher 1
It is assumed that the full size or the panoramic size is determined by 8 and is recorded in the memory card 22 and loaded in the reading device 26 of the printer 24.

In step 500, the information of the image frame next to the printing position is read from the memory card 22, the process proceeds to step 502, and the type of image frame (full size or panoramic size) is determined from the read information. Determine.

In step 502, when it is determined that the size is full size, the process proceeds to step 504 and the flag F is set (1). When it is determined that the size is panoramic size, the process proceeds to step 506 and the flag is set. F is reset (0) and the process proceeds to step 508.

In step 508, it is judged whether or not the printing condition currently set in the printer 24 and the printing condition of the image frame to be printed next match. That is, if they match, it is not necessary to change the printing conditions, and if they do not match, it is necessary to change the printing conditions.

If it is determined in step 508 that the printing conditions are the same, the process proceeds to step 510 and it is determined whether or not the flag F is set.
If an affirmative decision is made in step 510, step 51
Move to 2 and carry between full size and full size.
On the other hand, if a negative determination is made at step 510, the process proceeds to step 514 to carry out conveyance between the panorama size and the panorama size.

In the next step 516, the negative film 1
The second image frame to be printed is positioned at the printing position, then photometry is performed in step 518, and the exposure amount is calculated in step 520. In the next step 522, a printing process is performed. Next, after the printing process is completed, in step 523,
The motor 292 is driven, and the cam 294 and the rack 284 are driven.
The pressed state with the contact surface 284A is released. Therefore, the rack 284 rotates the shaft 278 by the biasing force of the spring 290 to open the light shielding plate 282. As a result, the printing opening for full size is set. In step 524, one roll of negative film 1
It is determined whether or not 2 has been completed. If the determination is negative, the process proceeds to step 500 to prepare for the next image frame printing.
If it is determined in step 524 that the printing process of all the image frames has been completed (affirmative determination), the process ends.

If it is determined in step 508 that the printing conditions do not match, the process proceeds from step 508 to step 526, it is determined whether the flag F is set, and the determined image frame is full size. Choose between panorama size and panorama size.

In step 526, it is determined that the size is full size (F =
If 1), the print mask 2 is printed at step 528.
04 is set again in the mask area for full size. Next, the process proceeds to step 532, the lens 237 is driven to reset to the full-size (standard) magnification position, and the process proceeds to step 534.

On the other hand, if it is determined that the size is the panorama size (F = 0) in step 526, the print mask 204 is reset in the mask area for panorama size in step 536. Then, in step 538, the motor 292
Is energized. When the motor 292 is energized and driven, the rack 284 is pushed out against the biasing force of the spring 290, and the light shielding plate 282 is closed. As a result, both ends of the opening of the mask portion 274 in the vertical direction (width direction of the negative film 12) are shielded from light, and the size of the opening is made the same as the size of the image frame of the panorama size of the negative film 12, and the panorama size is set. It is set again in the baking opening for use.

Next, the process proceeds to step 540, the lens 237 is driven and reset to the panorama size magnification position, and the process proceeds to step 534. In step 534, the printing paper is conveyed between different sizes (full size-panorama size or panorama size-full size), and the process proceeds to step 516.

As described above, in this embodiment, the types of image frames sequentially conveyed (full size or panoramic size)
Accordingly, the light-shielding plate 282 is opened and closed to change the opening size of the mask portion 274, and the light-shielding region for the light irradiating the negative film 12 becomes an optimum state according to the print magnification of the negative film 12. Therefore, the negative film 12 can be exposed by printing under the optimum exposure condition according to the print magnification, flare is prevented from occurring, and the image quality is improved. Also, the printer dedicated to the panorama is unnecessary.

Further, when the photodetector 254 detects the density information of the image photographed on the negative film 12 positioned on the film carrier 220, for example, a portion outside the panorama-sized image frame (so-called negative film 12). It is possible to prevent the photometry of a portion (a blank portion) and to accurately measure the image of the negative film 12.

As for the correction amount for the exposure amount by the photometry of the image frame positioned at the printing position, the color correction amount and the density correction amount are determined in advance by the verification by the notcher puncher 18, and the memory card 22 as shown in FIG. It is stored in the area of each frame. That is, the memory card 2
2 stores a frame number of each frame and a color correction amount and a density correction amount as necessary, and also records data for determining the full size or the panorama size. In this case, since there are two types to be discriminated, data is omitted in the full size.

Next, the film carrier 29 of the second embodiment.
7 will be described. As shown in FIG. 5, the opening 301 of the mask portion of the upper mask 298 of the film carrier 297 of the second embodiment has a half size. Similar to the first embodiment, the upper mask 298 is attachable to and detachable from the mask base 342. Therefore,
Only by exchanging the upper mask 298, it is possible to deal with a half size negative film, and it is not necessary to provide a complicated mechanism.

In each of the above embodiments, the negative film 1
The type of the image frame No. 2 is discriminated by the notcher puncher 18 and recorded in the memory card 22, and the type of the image frame is discriminated from the information of the memory card 22 by the printer 24.
As shown in FIG. 11, the edge portion of the image frame may be detected from the density distribution measured by the light receiver 254, and the full size or the panorama size may be determined depending on the position of the edge portion. Even when there is no difference between the base density and the image density (for example, an image of a night view), the light shielding plate 282 is normally used.
Since the opening size of the mask portion 274 of the upper mask 340 is full size, the operator can visually check the image size of the negative film 12 conveyed on the mask, and the misprint due to the wrong judgment of the apparatus. Disappears.

Further, in each of the above embodiments, the print examples of the full size or the panorama size are shown, but the print with a high enlargement ratio is not limited to the print of the panorama size. Needless to say, it can be applied to a print having a cinerama type aspect ratio, and a plurality of combinations of prints having different aspect ratios may be used. It is also applicable to full-size prints (with the same aspect ratio) or prints with different enlargement ratios. Further, in the present embodiment, the mechanism for changing the opening is provided on the upper mask 340 side, but it may be provided on the exposure opening 306 side.

[0061]

As described above, in the film carrier according to the present invention, the image size of the negative film can be visually judged, and the optimum exposure condition according to the print magnification such as full size print or panorama size print can be obtained with a simple structure. The negative film can be exposed by printing.
