With the recent spread of personal computers (personal computers),
It is common to read photographic film images as digital data with a film scanner and directly import them into a personal computer for various editing tasks. Only designers whose main business is designing with the spread of color printers and the creation of websites on the Internet Instead, it spreads between amateurs. In such editing work, it is necessary to completely and accurately read every corner of the image so that the photographer can effectively use all images photographed in the composition considered to be the best.

However, if the film mount is used for such an editing operation, the entire edge of the image portion of the film piece is hidden by the base plate, so that all of the image data cannot be read. In order to read this hidden part, it is possible to remove the film piece from the base plate once, but it is not only troublesome and troublesome to handle, but also the film piece may be stained with fingerprints or scratches, There is a problem that image data may not be accurately read.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a film mount capable of completely and accurately reading image data of a film piece with a film scanner.

[0007]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention comprises a pair of base plates which hold a film piece between them, and each of the base plates has an image having a light transmitting property. In the film mount provided with the confirmation portion, the outer edge of the image confirmation portion is located outside the outer edge of the image portion of the film piece.

[0008] In this film mount, since the image confirming portion is formed larger than the image portion of the film piece, the entire image portion can be confirmed, and all the image data can be read by the film scanner. In addition, since it is not necessary to remove the film piece from the base plate at the time of reading, it is easy to handle, and there is little possibility that the film piece is stained or scratched, so that image data can be read accurately.
