Abstract
A composite comprising a carrier sheet of photograph size, and having front and back sides, and a camera-produced photographic image on a photographic print at the front side of the carrier sheet, and a graphics-produced image on at least one side of the sheet; a first digitized format on the back side of the carrier sheet, the format corresponding to the photographic image whereby the image is stored in the format, and a second digitized format on the back side of the carrier sheet, the second format corresponding to the graphics-produced image, the formats characterized as machine readable to produce a CRT display on the photographic image, and of the graphics-produced image in association with the photographic image display.
Claims38
In combination, a composite comprising:
- a) a carrier sheet having front and back sides, and a camera-produced photographic image on a photographic print at said front side of the carrier sheet, and a graphics-produced image on at least one side of said sheet,
- b) a first digitized format on said back side of said carrier sheet, said format corresponding to said photographic image whereby the image is stored in the format, and a second digitized format on said back side of said carrier sheet, said second format corresponding to said graphics-produced image, said formats characterized as machine readable to produce a CRT display of the photographic image, and of said graphics-produced image in association with said photographic image display.
The method of displaying a photographic image and an associated graphics image, that includes
- a) affixing said photographic image and said graphics images on a carrier sheet in the form of a card,
- b) also affixing to said carrier sheet first and second digitized formats respectively corresponding to said photographic and graphics images, said formats characterized as machine readable to produce a CRT display of the images,
- c) subjecting said sheet to reading of said first and second formats to produce corresponding first signals and second signals,
- d) and selectively applying said first signals and second signals, or versions thereof, to a CRT for selectively displaying visual images of said photographic image and of said graphics image.
In the method of producing a photograph having associated graphics and employing a film pack, including a stack of photographic film sheets, the sheets having first zones which are photographic exposure zones, and second zones, which are graphics zones, the steps including:
- a) effecting production of a photographic image on the first said zone on one of said sheets, and of a graphic image on a second said zone on said one sheet, said effecting step including employing a template on the film pack in registration with said second zone, thereby to produce a photographic print on a print sheet displaying said photographic image and also displaying said graphic image,
- b) and employing said print in one auxiliary image display mode.
The method of providing a composite comprising:
- a) providing a carrier sheet having front and back sides, providing a camera produced photographic image on a photographic print at said front side of the carrier sheet, and
- b) providing a digitized format no said back side of said carrier sheet opposite said photographic image, said format corresponding to said photographic image whereby the image is stored in the format, said format characterized as machine readable to produce a CRT display of the photographic image.
The method of calm 23 wherein said photograph is provided to have two zones, the first zone characterized as a print developed from exposure to light rays of a light-sensitive emulsion, and the second zone characterized as a print developed from exposure to infra-red rays of an infra-red sensitive emulsion, and said digitized format is provided to contain data produced as a result of scanning of both of said print zones.
