Abstract

An electronic film system is described. The electronic film system provides for the capturing, displaying, editing, storing, transmitting, receiving, and manipulating of electronic images. The electronic film system includes an electronic film cartridge for the capture and storage of electronic images. The electronic film system also includes a carrier for housing the electronic film cartridge when the cartridge is not located in a camera. The electronic film system also includes a storage module for storing, displaying, editing, manipulating, and transmitting electronic images. The electronic film system also includes a method for transmitting and receiving electronic images over a communication network for storage or processing at a remote location.
