A method for obtaining a positive image of a photographic negative and placing a representation of the positive image onto a storage medium in which the photographic negative is stored, the method comprising:
- deriving from the photographic negative electronic data representing the photographic negative;
- electronically processing the electronic data representing the photographic negative to obtain electronic data representing a positive image of the photographic negative;
- and
- printing a representation of the positive image onto the storage medium in which the photographic negative is stored, wherein the storage medium is fabricated from a non-photosensitive material.
A method for storing photographic negatives, the method comprising:
- deriving from a photographic negative electronic data representing an image of the photographic negative;
- printing a positive image on a storage medium, the positive image being based upon the electronic data, wherein the storage medium is fabricated from a non-photosensitive material;
- and
- inserting the photographic negative into the storage medium at a position adjacent the positive image.
