Abstract

PURPOSE:To optionally print additional information such as a data on a printing picture at a stage where the printing is executed from a photographic film by detecting the transmitted density of the photographic film corresponding to a part where the additional information is recorded in the picture area of a print. CONSTITUTION:The transmission and the illumination of the photographic film F are executed by a light source 3 and the image thereof is formed on a photographic paper P by a lens 4. Then, the transmitted density of the additional information recording corresponding area 5 of the film F corresponding to an additional information area 7 on the paper P is measured by a detection means 6 and the information thereof is transmitted to a control arithmetic means 9. By the arithmetic means 9, the transmitted density is compared with previously registered transmitted density data that image density of the print becomes >=1. When the image density of the print is judged to be >=1, a light shielding means 31 is actuated with respect to the additional information area 7. Then, the printing is executed from the film F by opening and closing a shutter 18. Next, paper P is moved to a second exposure stage 2 and positioned. Then, the additional information is printed by an additional information exposure means 8.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a photographic print method for printing date information when printing an image on a photographic film on photographic paper.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Although a method of imprinting a date on one corner of a shooting screen by optical recording from a calendar function built into the camera at the time of taking a picture is already widespread, it is said that it does not disturb the shooting screen. As a result, since the image is imprinted near one corner, there is a drawback that the date portion cannot be captured in the print screen when trimming or the like is actually performed in the print creation stage.

On the other hand, in recent years, with the advent of panoramic screens and high-definition screens by narrowing the width of 35 mm film by the action of a light-shielding member, it is not always possible to directly use the function of imprinting the date etc. at one corner. Since there is no such thing, even if a customer who is accustomed to printing with a date expects that the date will be displayed on the panorama screen or high definition size screen, the mechanism on the camera side could not respond to this.

[0004]

In view of the drawbacks of the prior art, there is provided a photographic printing method capable of arbitrarily printing additional information such as date in a printing screen at the time of printing from a photographic film. That is the task purpose.

[0005]

The photographic printing method of the present invention which achieves the above object is a photographic printing method in which an image of a developed photographic film is printed on photographic paper to create a printed image, and a printed image area is provided. The transmission density of the photographic film corresponding to the part where additional information is recorded,
When the print image density is detected by the detecting means and the transmission density is equal to or more than 1, the portion for recording the additional information is shielded by the light shielding means to perform the printing from the photographic film, and then the additional information is not printed. It is characterized in that it is carried out by the exposing means.

Further, the photographic printing method of the present invention is a photographic printing method in which an image of a developed photographic film is printed on a photographic paper to create a printed image, and an additional information is recorded in a portion where an additional information is recorded in a printed image area. When the color density of the corresponding photographic film is detected by the detecting means and the light source light component for additional information recording is included, the component light is cut by the filter means for the portion to record the additional information from the photographic film. After the printing is performed, the additional information is printed by another exposure means.

Furthermore, the photographic printing method of the present invention is a photographic printing method in which an image of a developed photographic film is printed on photographic paper to create a printed image,
The color density of the photographic film corresponding to the portion for recording additional information in the print image area is detected by the detecting means,
A light source different from the color is selected and used as a light source for recording additional information.

[0008]

In the present invention, when the print image density is 1 or more, even if additional information such as the date is printed on the print image of that density by the exposure means, the density difference between the image and the character information is small. Since it is difficult to read, the image of the portion where the additional information should be printed is erased by the light-shielding means only in this case, and the additional information is printed instead. Conversely, if the print image density is less than 1,
Since the light shielding means is not operated, the image is not erased and the additional information can be read. However, in the present invention, the print image density of 1 is not always set as an absolute branch point, and it is difficult to distinguish the image and the additional information even when the density is 1 or less, and when the additional information is prioritized. A fifth aspect of the present invention is that the light shielding means is operated to erase a part of the image to clearly print the additional information.

The transmission density of the photographic film, which should have a print image density of 1 or more, can be dealt with by previously obtaining the relationship between the light quantity and the print image density.

In the second aspect, the color density of the photographic film is detected and the light source light component for recording additional information is cut so that the color balance of the portion is changed by this cutting and additional information to be printed later is cut. In this case, because a color difference is created between the and, it is possible to clearly read the additional information and the area is covered with a filter and printing is performed from the photographic film. Since the image in that area will be infringed,
In the invention described in claim 5, the mode selection can be performed and the mode selection can be performed regardless of the degree of the color density.

The exposure means for printing the additional information in the fourth aspect of the invention is an optical recording means for recording the information which has been electrically signal processed as an optical output, and is a laser printer, an LED printer, a liquid crystal shutter printer or the like. Is available.

The information recorded on a photographic film means the information recorded by a bar code or the like outside the image area of the film, the information magnetically recorded, or the film having a transparent magnetic recording layer. The reading means is read according to each film type including the recorded one, regardless of whether it is inside or outside the image area.

1 is a block diagram of a photographic printing apparatus showing a first embodiment of a photographic printing method according to the invention of claim 1.

In this embodiment, after photographic film is printed on the image area 11 by the first exposure stage 1, the printing paper P is moved to the second exposure stage 2 to expose the additional information area 7 on the additional information. As additional information is printed by means 8,
The exposure stage is divided and performed. That is, the photographic film F is illuminated by the light source 3 and the lens 4 forms an image on the photographic paper P, and the additional information recording corresponding area 5 of the photographic film F corresponding to the additional information area 7 on the photographic paper P is detected. The transmission density is measured at 6 and the information is sent to the control calculation means 9. The control calculation means 9 compares the transmission density data of the print image density of 1 or more, which is registered in advance, and when it judges that the print image density is 1 or more, the light shielding means 31 is caused to act on the additional information area 7. Then, the shutter 18 is opened and closed to print from the photographic film F, and then the photographic paper P is printed.
Is moved to the second exposure stage 2 and positioned, and the additional information exposure means 8 prints the additional information.

Incidentally, in burning the additional information,
Properly masking the area other than the additional information area 7 is preferable for preventing fog.

FIG. 2 shows an image area 11 formed on the photographic printing paper P.
3 is a plan view of the photographic printing paper P showing the relationship between the photographic printing paper P and the additional information area 7 and the positional relationship between the photographic printing paper P moved from the first exposure stage 1 to the second exposure stage 2.

FIG. 3 shows a flow chart of the above embodiment. That is, the information of the photographic film transmission density detecting means 6 is sent to the control calculating means 9 and converted into a print image density (12) and compared with the print image density of 1 or more (13). (14) to print (15) from the photographic film, then move the photographic paper P,
Burn additional information (16). If the print image density is not more than 1, the light-shielding means working seed (17) and the photographic film F are printed (15) and then the additional information is printed (16).

Next, a second embodiment of the invention according to claim 2 will be described with reference to FIG.

FIG. 4 is a block diagram of a photographic printing apparatus of the second embodiment, in which parts common to those of the first embodiment are designated by the same symbols.

In FIG. 4, the photographic film F is illuminated by the light source 3, and its image is formed on the photographic paper P surface by the lens 4. The color density of the additional information recording corresponding area 5 of the film F corresponding to the additional information area 7 is detected by the color density detecting means 21,
The information is sent to the control calculation means 9. The light source light component information of the light source 19 of the additional information exposure means 8 is sent to the control calculation means 9, and when it is determined that the detection information includes the light source light component, the filter 20 acts on the additional information area 7. Then, only the light source light component is cut only for the region.

A flow chart of the second embodiment is shown in FIG. That is, the information of the color density detecting means 21 is sent to the control calculating means 9 and it is judged whether the light source light component for additional information is included (22).
If it is included, it is filtered (23), printed from photographic film (15), and then additional information is printed (16). When the light source light component for additional information is not included or is small, the filter lens (24) and the shutter
Open and close 18 to print (15) from photographic film, and then print additional information (16).

Next, a third embodiment of the photographic printing method according to the third aspect of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. Figure 6
FIG. 6 is a configuration diagram of a photographic printing apparatus of a third embodiment.

The information of the additional information recording corresponding area 5 of the film F by the color density detecting means 21 is sent to the control calculating means 9 and a light source emitting a light source light of a color not included in the area is
After selecting from the light source A25, the light source B26, and the light source C27, first the printing from the photographic film F is performed, and then the additional information printing is performed on the second exposure stage 2 using the selected light source. Note that it is necessary to economically devise a method of reducing the kinds of light from the light source by appropriately setting a limit value in the color density information.

Next, a fourth embodiment of the photographic printing method according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 7 is a block diagram of the photographic printing apparatus of the fourth embodiment.

The additional information recorded on the film F is read by the reading means 28, the signal processing means 29 processes the signal, and the optical recording means 30 exposes and prints the additional information area 7 on the printing paper P. In the same manner as in the above embodiment, the detection means 6 detects the transmission density of the additional information recording corresponding area 5, and when the control calculation means 9 determines that the print image density is 1 or more, the shading means 31 is operated to take a photograph. It is preferable to clearly record the additional information by printing from the film F, or the color density detecting means 21 detects the color density of the additional information recording corresponding area 5, and the optical recording means 30 registered in advance is used. When a large amount of light components are contained in the detected color, the filter 20 is actuated to cut the light components only in the additional information area 7 and printing from the photographic film F is performed to clarify the additional information recording. It is preferable to carry out.

Further, the additional information can be clearly read by providing a selection key on the operation means so that the two can be selected from the screen priority mode and the additional information priority mode, instead of performing the above embodiment fixedly. Even if it is better not to erase the image in the area, it is also effective to select the image priority mode to block the operation of each function of the first to fourth embodiments. A key is provided.

In the above embodiment, the additional information area 7 is within the area formed as the image area 11. Therefore, even if zooming or trimming is performed by moving the lens 4, the additional information area 7 is within the finished image area 11. Therefore, the image is not lost by zooming and trimming.

[0028]

Since the photographic printing method of the present invention is configured as described above, it does not drop even when trimming is performed, and can be arbitrarily adapted to the printing screen size and can be clearly added to the image area. Information can be printed.
