At the DP agency, the order details, the customer's name, etc. are written on the slip attached to the DP bag, the photographed film is inserted into the DP bag, and then sent to the photo lab. or,
The information that can be recorded on a photo is very limited such as date, time, and the number of frames.

[0003]

Normally, when requesting a photographic print, a so-called simultaneous print for printing all frames is ordered. In this case, it is not possible to confirm the content of the photographed film without developing it.
For this reason, there is a problem in that even frames for which shooting has failed, such as frames that do not need to be printed, are printed.

In addition, since it is not possible to confirm what is shown in the film before the development processing, there is a problem that when ordering additional printing or stretching, it is necessary to visit the DP agency again. Furthermore, the information that can be recorded on the film is only limited information such as the date and time, and the author's free comment, explanation of the place, etc.
I couldn't record. In addition, there is a problem that it takes time to organize the pudding photos.

Therefore, the present invention confirms the image information, filming information and other information of the film before the development processing,
It is an object of the present invention to provide a photographic information edit output control device capable of making a lean order and selecting an output form such as characters and detailed shooting information.

[0006]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the photographic information edit output control device according to the present invention has the following configuration. For example, as shown in FIG. 1, the photographic information edit output control apparatus according to the present invention includes a first medium, which is a silver salt medium on which the first image information is recorded, and a second image corresponding to the first image information. Detection means for detecting the second image information and the photographing information from a recording medium including information and photographing information and a second medium different from the silver salt medium, and a second image detected by the detecting means. It is configured to have a display unit for displaying information and shooting information, a selection unit for selecting the output form of the shooting information, and an output unit for outputting information about the selected shooting information.

[0007]

The contents of the first image information recorded on the first medium cannot be confirmed without chemical treatment, but the second image information recorded on the second medium is detected. The contents can be confirmed by the means and the display means. With this, the orderer can make a selection regarding the output form of the photographing information while confirming the second image information displayed on the display means, so that the ordering can be efficiently performed and the photographing information can be displayed. You can specify the output position.

Although the second image information is inferior in definition to the first image information, the contents can be confirmed immediately without performing a chemical treatment, and therefore the orderer does not have to do anything when ordering. There is no inconvenience.
