Abstract
A process for producing digital color composite images by using digital images produced with a digital camera or from color positive or negative film which have be digitized using a film scanner and subsequently assembling the resulting digital positive and negative images using computergraphics software. These digital composite images when printed, projected or otherwise outputted are useful in the creation and production of artwork for cinematography, graphic arts, signs, advertising, book and magazine illustration, computergraphics, photographic prints as well as photomechanical reproduction such as offset lithography or silkscreen printing.
Claims13
A process for making composite digital image computergraphics files, which can be printed, projected or otherwise outputted, by:
- a) capturing a subject using a digital camera to produce a color positive digital image file, and
- b) converting said color positive digital image file to a color negative image file using computergraphics software, and
- c) superimposing and assembling said color positive digital image file and said color negative digital image file using computergraphics software.
A process for making a composite digital image computergraphics file, which can be printed, projected or otherwise outputted, wherein:
- a) a positive digital image file is created by employing a film scanner to digitize a color positive image film, and
- b) said positive digital image file is converted to a negative digital image file using computergraphics software, and
- c) superimposing and assembling said positive digital image file and said negative digital image file using computergraphics software.
A process for making a composite digital image computergraphics file, which can be printed, projected or otherwise outputted, wherein:
- a) a positive digital image file is created employing a film scanner to digitize a color positive image film, and
- b) a negative digital image file is created employing a film scanner to digitize a color negative image film produced from capturing substantially the same subject as used to produce the positive image film in (a), and
- c) superimposing and assembling said positive digital image file and said negative digital image file using computergraphics software.
