Abstract
The invention includes a system for imparting at least one characteristic of photographic emulsion to an image. The system includes a light transmissible medium at least partially provided with photographic film emulsion, wherein the photographic film emulsion is capable of being exposed and chemically processed. Furthermore, light that is related to an image is projected through a selected portion of the photographic film emulsion. Moreover, a containment is included for providing the light transmissible medium in a position relative to the projected light, wherein the image is imparted with the at least one quality related to the photographic film emulsion.
Claims20
A system, comprising:
- an imaging unit configured to project light indicative of images through a circular light transmissible medium at least partially provided with photographic film emulsion including a grain pattern, wherein the circular light transmissible medium is configured to impart a portion of the grain pattern on the light indicative of the images as it passes through the circular light transmissible medium;
- and
- a component configured to rotate the circular light transmissible medium to change the portion of the grain pattern the light indicative of the images passes through.
A method, comprising:
- rotating a circular light transmissible medium that includes photographic film emulsion having a grain pattern;
- and
- projecting light indicative of images through at least a portion of the circular light transmissible medium.
A system, comprising:
- a charged couple device array configured to receive light indicative of digital images that were projected through at least a portion of a rotating circular light transmissible medium including photographic film emulsion having a grain pattern;
- and
- a tangible computer readable storage medium configured to store the light received by the charged couple device array.
A system comprising:
- means for projecting light indicative of a digital image through a circular transparent medium including photographic film emulsion having a grain pattern;
- means for rotating the circular transparent medium;
- and
- means for storing at least a portion of the light indicative of the digital image after it passes through the circular transparent medium.
