Abstract
Frames images in all frames on developed photographic film are read first, and an index image is made of a plurality of frames to be displayed on a TV monitor. Then, one of a plurality of regeneration modes is designated. When regeneration in the designated regeneration mode is commanded, frame images on the photographic film are read on a frame-by-frame basis. The read frame images are regenerated on the TV monitor on a frame-by-frame basis in the designated regeneration mode. Thereby, a regeneration mode suitable for the film can be selected among a plurality of regeneration modes, while the frame images on a roll of film are confirmed by means of an index image displayed during regeneration mode selection.
Claims8
A film image regenerating method, in which frames images of developed photographic film are read, and a plurality of the frame images are displayed on a display, said film image regenerating method comprising:
- creating an index image composed of a plurality of frames based on a plurality of the frame images and displaying the index image on said display in an index display mode;
- and
- designating one of a plurality of regeneration modes for reading and displaying the frame images on a frame-by-frame basis, wherein when one of a plurality of said regeneration modes is designated, said index image is displayed on said display after said designation but before starting the designated regeneration mode,
- wherein the plurality of said regeneration modes include at least:
- a slide show regeneration mode for sequentially and automatically regenerating frame images with display effects utilizing photographing information, recorded in an information section on said photographic film, and
- a program regeneration mode for sequentially regenerating frame images according to at least one of a zoom pattern and a screen movement pattern, each of which are set in advance.
A film image regenerating method, in which frame images of developed photographic film are read, and a plurality of the frame images are displayed on a display, said method comprising:
- creating an index image composed of a plurality of frames based on a plurality of the frame images and displaying the index image on said display in an index display mode;
- and
- designating a regeneration starting frame and starting a regeneration mode for reading and displaying the frame images, beginning with the regeneration starting frame, on a frame-by-frame basis,
- wherein said index image is displayed on said display after said designation but before starting the regeneration mode, and
- wherein only the regeneration starting frame, and not the order of all frames to be regenerated, need be designated to start a regeneration mode.
A film image regenerating device, in which frame images of developed photographic film are read by an image reading section, and a plurality of the frame images are displayed on a display, comprising:
- index image regenerating means for controlling said image reading section to read a plurality of said frame images, creating an index image composed of a plurality of frames based on a plurality of the readout frame images, and displaying said index image on said display;
- frame image regenerating means for controlling said image reading section to read frame images beginning from a previously-stored regeneration starting frame among a plurality of said frame images on said photographic film, and displaying the read frame images on said display;
- and
- regenerating starting frame designating means for designating said regeneration starting frame,
- wherein said index image is displayed on said display after said designation but before starting displaying the designated regeneration starting frame, and
- wherein only the regeneration starting frame, and not the order of all frames to be regenerated need be designated to start a regeneration mode.
