Abstract
A method and system for printing a customer image order containing at least one image captured underwater. A digital record of a customer image order containing at least one image captured underwater is obtained. The image captured underwater is determined and a level of correction is also determined. The digital record of the underwater captured image is modified in the determined manner. The determination of the existence of an image captured underwater may be provided by analyzing the image record or obtained by reading information received from the customer image order. Thereafter modified image may be printed and/or displayed.
Claims26
A method for printing a customer image order, containing at least one image captured underwater, comprising the steps:
- a) obtaining a digital record of a customer image order containing at least one image and determining if said at least one image was captured underwater by analyzing said digital record;
- b) determining the level of correction necessary for said image,
- c) manipulating the digital record of said at least one image captured underwater in a predetermined manner in accordance with said determined level of correction;
- and
- d) digitally printing said image captured underwater in accordance with said corrections.
A method of printing a customer image order containing at least one image captured underwater, comprising the steps of:
- a) scanning a photosensitive media containing a customer image order having a plurality of images so as to obtain a digital record,
- b) determining if an image contained in said digital record has been captured underwater by analyzing said digital record,
- c) determining the level of correction necessary for said image;
- and
- d) modifying the portion of said digital record containing said at least one image captured underwater so as to provide modified image in accordance with said determined level of correction.
An apparatus for printing customer image orders containing at least one image captured underwater, comprising:
- means for obtaining digital record of a customer image order having at least one digital image;
- means for determining if any one of said at least one image has been captured underwater by analyzing said digital record;
- means for determining the level of correction necessary for said image;
- and
- means for modifying any one of said at least one images captured underwater in accordance with said determined level of correction.
A computer program product, comprises a computer readable storage medium having a computer program thereon which when loaded into a computer, causes the computer to performance the following steps:
- a) obtaining a digital record of a customer image order containing at least one image;
- b) determining if any of said at least one images were captured underwater by analyzing said digital record;
- c) determining the level of correction necessary for said image,
- d) manipulating the digital record of said at least one image captured underwater in a accordance with said level of correction;
- and
- e) digitally printing, storing, or displaying said image captured underwater in accordance with said manipulation to the digital record.
