Abstract
A method of recording a reference calibration target on an APS format photographic element having a reserved area for use by photofinishing apparatus, and a perforation located relative to the reserved area, includes the steps of: generating a reference calibration target having a width no greater than 30.2 mm and a height no greater than 16.7 mm; locating the reserved area of the photographic element relative to the perforation; and recording the reference calibration target within the reserved area.
