Method of making a photographic print

A method of making a print having a first transporting process for transporting a film in a first direction and a second transporting process for transporting the film in a second direction, wherein an image on the film is copied on a photographic copying apparatus so as to make a print, said method comprising the steps of:

• carrying out photometry on at least all images on the film that are to be copied by dividing each of the images that are to be copied into a number of pixels, logarithmically transforming thus obtained photometric values into photometric data sets, and storing all thus transformed photometric data sets in correspondence with individual images on the film in said first transporting process;
• reading a plurality of said photometric data sets and determining a condition of selection for selecting photometric data of pixels for use in determining an exposure amount;
• and
• selecting photometric data of pixels which meet the condition of selection from photometric data sets of images on the film that are to be copied and making a print based on thus selected photometric data in said second transporting process.
