Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Technical Field to which the Invention Pertains] This invention relates to the production of a color composite image by partially or totally changing the color when printing and reproducing a color object such as a color original drawing. The present invention also relates to a new color composite printing method capable of obtaining color composite photographs.

[Prior art and its problems]

Conventionally, in color printing technology, color copying technology, color photography technology, etc., when creating a desired color print,
A color object is decomposed into three color lights to create a negative master plate, and oak printing is performed based on this negative master plate.

However, with the conventional color printing method described above, although it is possible to change the color tone by adjusting the exposure, it is difficult to change the color to a color that is completely different from the object or to create a new color composition. there were.

However, in the design fields such as textiles, clothing, and various interior designs, it is desirable to meet the demands of many consumers by changing only the color without changing the original model. However, if the prototype is made up of many color composites, it is required to be able to extract only the prototype and confirm it at the same time as making changes to the can. For this reason, in the past, all the desired color samples were created manually, and it took a lot of time and money to create a large number of color samples. There is a limit to the number of samples that can be produced, and there is a drawback that it is not possible to create more powerful samples to satisfy customers as needed. Therefore, in the past, the range of selection was limited because a color sample that matched one's taste was selected from among color samples that had already been created, and there were cases where the customer could not be fully satisfied.

[Purpose of the invention]

Therefore, the object of the present invention is to provide a technology for creating a color print by separating a color object with three color lights, and a technology for creating a color print by separating a color object with three color lights (reciprocal conversion of the color Z into three color lights). It also uses color television technology that makes adjustments and synthesizes a new color image, and quickly prints the desired color while adjusting the printing of three-color light based on the color image synthesized using the color television technology. The object of the present invention is to provide an automatic color composition printing method that can be obtained economically.

[Key points of the invention]

The present invention provides means for creating a color print by separating a color object into three color lights, and mutual conversion and adjustment of the three color lights for signals obtained by separating a color object into three color lights. and a monitor means for synthesizing a new color image, and the print adjustment of the three color lights is performed based on the adjustment data of the three color lights obtained by the monitor means.

That is, in the present invention, a system can be easily constructed by combining photographic technology that performs printing by separating light into three colors and television technology.

Therefore, in the present invention, the color print creating means includes five
A color object is decomposed into three color lights to create a 7"L negative master plate, and color photographic paper is sequentially exposed to the three color light for a predetermined time using these negative master plates, and then the color photographic image is printed. It is preferable to configure the image forming apparatus to develop paper.

On the other hand, the monitoring means consists of a color television set equipped with a color picture tube and a color picture tube, and is capable of mutually converting and adjusting the three-color light decomposition No. 18 obtained by the five-picture receiving circuit into three-color light, respectively. A configuration including a color matrix adjustment circuit is preferable. In this case, the color matrix rectification circuit connects the three-color X-power signal lines derived from the color image-receiving circuit to the matrix through variable resistors, respectively, and supplies the three-color photoresolution signal to the color image-receiving circuit. Line VC connected (can be made into 4 configurations).

'Furthermore, it is preferable that the monitor means also synthesizes the color matrix tone in one circuit and calculates the C color tone structure data as the color synthesis data of the color print.

Assuming that η≦, the color print Jj7 means is color composited by the monitor means! 1. It is also possible to make a configuration in which a color image is copied to an i71 color notebook using a 1a child color printer.

[Embodiments of the invention]

Next, an embodiment of the automatic color composition printing method according to the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIGS. 1 to 3 are principle diagrams showing one embodiment of the Five-Key Mei system. That is, FIG. 7 is an explanatory diagram showing a means for creating a negative original from a color object, and FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram showing a means for creating a negative original from a color object, and FIG. The system diagram of the monitor, Fig. 3, shows the use of color photographic paper using the negative original created by the means shown in Fig. 1 and based on the color adjustment data obtained by the color adjustment means shown in Fig. 2. FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram showing a means for color printing.

First, referring to FIG. 1, a means for creating a negative original from a blank object will be explained. When creating a negative master plate, using a plate-making camera, the light reflected from the color object 10 is sequentially converted into a continuous tone negative using a red filter/2, a green filter/Hiro, and a blue filter/2. The film is exposed to produce a cyan negative master plate/♂, a magenta negative master plate, and a 201 yellow negative master plate 22, respectively.

If necessary, expose the non-gradation lithium-type negative film using a red filter, a 2° green filter, and a blue filter at the same time to create a black negative original. do. In the equations, reference numeral 2 indicates a light source lamp for irradiating light onto a color object/θ for photographing.

Next, in order to monitor the color change or color composition of the color object IO, a color image pickup tube 2g and a color picture tube 30 are used, as shown in FIG. In this case, the R, G, B signals ELL output from the color imaging circuit 3λ
, EG, and EB using the color adjustment device 34t to adjust the color of the object 10 to an arbitrary color.
The image ' is sent to the color picture tube 30 via the color picture receiving circuit 3z.
ff: Play. However, in the present invention, the color adjustment means 34t has R derived from the color imaging circuit 32.
The output lines of the , G, B signals E, , EG, and EB are connected to the R, G, and B signal input lines of the color matrix adjustment circuit and the color image receiving circuit 36, which are connected to the matrix through respective variable resistors. It consists of an input amplifier circuit for That is, the R signal El
The R signal ER supplied from the output line of the G signal EG to the R signal input line emphasizes or changes the G signal RGB or the B signal EBR, and also
G signal “aa (d, R
To the signal ERG or the B signal EBa (D is emphasized or changed, and the B signal EBB supplied from the output line of the B signal FB to the B signal input line is the R signal E几B''!,
It is possible to emphasize or change the RGB or G signals. In addition.

In the color matrix adjustment circuit, unless the R2O, B signal (+ EGG) EBB is emphasized or changed to other signals, the color of the object/θ is displayed in the same color as that captured by the color image pickup tube. Of course, it can be reproduced on the color picture tube 30.Therefore, the color matrix adjustment circuit described above can be obtained by adjusting the strength of each color signal with a variable resistor, and by imaging with a multi-color picture tube λg. The R, G, and B signals can be changed to different color signals, and as a result, desired color changes and new color compositions can be easily realized.Furthermore, in this case, in the color matrix adjustment circuit,
The variable resistors RR, GR, and Bl belonging to the R signal input system of the color image receiving circuit 36 correspond to the cyan negative original plate 7g shown in FIG. BG corresponds to the Masenda negative original plate θ shown in FIG. 7, and variable resistors RB and GB are connected to the VB signal input system.

BB corresponds to the yellow negative original plate 2λ shown in FIG. Therefore, if you select the desired color composition by adjusting the resistance value of each variable resistor, and measure the resistance value, that is, the voltage value, of each variable resistor, these measured values can be created as shown in Figure 1. Each negative original plate / 1, 20. ．． Exposure filter for printing onto color photographic paper via 22/2~
/ mode and specify the exposure time.

In this way, each negative original plate/l-22 obtained by the operation shown in FIG. 7 and M! A force 2-print is created from the monitoring results of the color object 10 selected by the operation shown in the figure. That is, in FIG. 3, the previously created negative masters/ZA~λ are sequentially used, and predetermined filters 72~ are applied to each negative master based on the color composition data selected on the monitor described above. Using L Otsu, expose 3g of specified color photographic paper to light for a specified period of time. In addition, black negative original plate 2≠ is a color object l.
It can be used for partial extraction of θ. Also,
Reference numeral 4to indicates a light source lamp for exposing color photographic paper 3 or the like for photographic printing. Therefore, if the exposed color photographic paper 3♂ is developed using a predetermined developing device, a color print that is approximately the same as the color object made of the color composition adjusted and selected on the monitor will be produced. easily obtained.

The color print thus obtained can be immediately applied as a color sample for a product.

The principle of the system of the present invention has been explained above, but the specific system configuration for implementing this system is shown in FIG.

Figure ≠ shows the configuration of a specific system for implementing the method of the present invention described above.

That is, the system shown in the fourth figure has a monitor jθ,
Photosensitive device! λ and a developing device j4t. Note that as shown in Figure 87, a known plate-making camera can be used as a means for separating a color object (color original) into three-color light to create a negative master plate, so the illustration is omitted. did. However, monitor! O is a color television set J, 2, which images a color original j&, performs new color composition on it by a color adjustment device j♂, and displays a color image on a color CRTI, 0; and the color adjustment device. The microcomputer 6μ calculates and displays the three-color photosensitive filter and the exposure time for each negative original based on the color adjustment data adjusted by the digital camera.

Next, the data obtained by the microcomputer t is transferred to the photosensitive device! ! Use this as input data. In other words, a photosensitive device! λ has a built-in known photographic photosensitive if1km, and uses the aforementioned three-color separation negative original plate, three-color photosensitive filter, photosensitive light source lamp, and color photographic paper, and uses the above-mentioned negative original plate and three-color photosensitive Perform multiple exposures on a common color photographic paper by selecting all filters and specifying the exposure time. In this case, a photosensitive device! On t-t-2, the fifth
An operation panel AA as shown in the figure is provided, and the exposure time can be arbitrarily set using this operation panel JJ. In other words, the operation panel &J is the power switch &f
, a lamp switch 70, a lamp up/down switch 72, a photosensitive timer 77, a photosensitive timer display 7z, and a photosensitive start switch 7g using a three-color filter. The exposure time is calculated by the exposure timer.
Exposure to color photographic paper can be automatically achieved by setting by operating ≠.

The color printing paper subjected to multiple exposure in this manner is collected from all the photosensitive devices and supplied to a developing device for finishing development. Note that this developing device has a built-in known automatic color developing mechanism.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As is clear from the above-mentioned examples, the unexploded light method electronically realizes color changes or new color compositions based on various color objects or color originals, and monitors this color image. , it is possible to easily create a print having substantially the same color composition as the obtained color image.

In this case, as an example, conventional color printing JK development technology can be used to convert a single color print into multiple color prints by selecting three-color separation negative masters, three-color filters for these negative masters, and specifying the exposure time. Various types of oak samples can be easily created.

In particular, with the color composite printing method according to the present invention, all work from color adjustment to print creation can be performed in a bright room, except for the creation of the negative master, so there are no restrictions on the installation location of the equipment that performs this work. It has the advantage that it can be used just like a general office machine without being bulky. What's more, when handling these equipment as a negative original? In combination with colored filters, by setting the exposure time for each color photographic paper to a value calculated by a color-adjusted monitor, a desired color print can be easily and inexpensively created. As an alternative, it is also possible to directly create a color hard copy of the color image obtained by the monitor using an electronic color printer.

Although a preferred embodiment of the present invention has been described above, it goes without saying that various design changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
