Abstract
A photographic data input device inputs photographic data of a film that occurs at the time of photography and outputs a photographic data signal. An image reading device reads the image on the film, and a control device establishes the reading conditions of the image reading device based upon the photographic data signal.
Claims48
An image reading device for reading an image on a film, comprising:
- photographic condition data input means for inputting photographic condition data taken at a time of photography on the film, and for outputting a photographic condition data signal;
- image reading means for reading the image from the film;
- and
- control means for determining reading conditions of the image reading means based upon the photographic condition data signal.
An image reading device for reading an image of a film, comprising:
- a photographic condition data input device for inputting photographic condition data occurring at a time of photography of the film, and for outputting a photographic condition data signal;
- image reading means for reading the image of the film, and, while the photographic condition data signal is output by the image reading means at the time of reading the image, for outputting optical density data;
- and
- control means for setting reading conditions of the image reading means based on the photographic condition data signal and the optical density data.
An image reading device for reading multiple images of a film, comprising:
- image reading means for reading the images of the film;
- and
- image data input means for inputting data for each of the images that corresponds to multiple image sizes that are pre-set through one scan.
A method for reading an image on a film, comprising the steps of:
- inputting photographic condition data taken at a time of photography of the film;
- outputting a photographic condition data signal;
- reading the image from the film;
- determining reading conditions of image reading means based upon the photographic condition data signal.
A method for reading an image of film, comprising the steps of:
- inputting photographic data that occurs at a time of photography of the film;
- outputting a photographic data signal;
- reading the image of the film;
- outputting optical density data while the photographic data signal is output at the time of reading the image;
- and
- setting reading conditions based on the photographic data signal and the optical density data.
A method for reading multiple images of a film, comprising the steps of:
- reading the images of the film;
- and
- inputting data for each of the multiple images that corresponds to multiple image sizes that are pre-set through one scan.
An image reading device for reading an image on a film, comprising:
- a photographic condition data input device that inputs photographic condition data taken at a time of photography on the film, and that outputs a photographic condition data signal;
- an image reading device connected to the photographic condition data input device that reads the image from the film;
- and
- a controller connected to the image reading device that determines reading conditions of the image reading device based upon the photographic condition data signal.
An image reading device for reading an image of a film, comprising:
- a photographic condition data input device that inputs photographic condition data occurring at a time of photography of the film, and that outputs a photographic condition data signal;
- an image reading device connected to the photographic condition data input device that reads the image of the film, and, while the photographic condition data signal is output by the image reading device at the time of reading the image, outputs optical density data;
- and
- a controller connected to the image reading device that sets reading conditions of the image reading device based on the photographic condition data signal and the optical density data.
An image reading device for reading multiple images of a film, comprising:
- an image reading device that reads the images of the film;
- and
- an image data input device cooperable with the image reading device that inputs data for each of the images that corresponds to multiple image sizes that are pre-set through one scan.
