Apparatus for setting regions to be trimmed on an original picture in a photographic printer

An apparatus for setting regions to be trimmed on an original picture in a photographic printer in which an image of the original picture is projected and focused on the surface of a photosensitive material on which a trimming mask frame of a size same as that of a desired reproduction picture image is mounted to expose and record a trimmed reproduction picture, characterized by comprising:

• a means for disposing a projecting lens which projects said image of the original picture onto the surface of said photosensitive material and a TV camera which photographs said original picture so that they may be alternately set on a position aligning with an optical axis which directly faces to the original picture;
• a monitoring means for displaying said original picture image photographed by said TV camera disposed on the position aligning with said optical axis;
• and
• an indicating means for indicating a configuration which shows substantially the same region as a region to be trimmed by said trimming mask frame in overlapped manner with said original picture image on the picture screen of said monitoring means.
