Claims
- 1. A photographic image apparatus for transforming an image on a frame of a photographic film into an electrical image signal, the apparatus comprising:
- a body;
- film feed means disposed on the body for feeding a photographic film;
- image transforming means disposed on the body for transforming the image on the frame of the photographic film into the electrical image signal;
- first means disposed on the body for detecting a frame position signal formed of holes located on the photographic film and for generating a position control signal therefrom;
- second means disposed on the body for detecting aspect information non-mechanically recorded in a marginal area along an edge of the photographic film and generating an aspect information signal therefrom, the detected aspect information signal indicating aspect of the image on the frame of the photographic film to be printed on a photographic paper;
- control means for controlling the film feed means in response to the position control signal; and
- processing means for receiving the aspect information signal and generating an information image signal therefrom, the information image signal corresponding to the aspect information signal, and for outputting into a display device an adjusted display size of the information image signal and the electrical image signal transformed as to data size in accordance with the detected aspect information signal.
- 2. The photographic image apparatus according to claim 1, wherein
- the control means generates a frame number signal, and
- the processing means further receives the frame number signal and generates the information image signal therefrom including the frame number signal.
- 3. The photographic image apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the processing means mixes two plane images in order to display the electrical image signal as a first plane image and the information image signal as a second plane image.
- 4. The photographic image apparatus according to claim 1, wherein
- the second means non-mechanically detects film type data recorded on the photographic film, and
- the processing means corrects the electrical image signal based on the detected film type data and generates a corrected electrical image signal.
- 5. The photographic image apparatus according to claim 4, wherein the processing means mixes two plane images in order to output the corrected electrical image signal as a first plane image and the information image signal as a second plane image.
- 6. A method of transforming a photographic image formed on a frame of a photographic film into an electrical image signal and supplying the electrical image signal to a display device and a printing device, the method comprising the steps of:
- positioning the photographic film on a film positioning base;
- detecting aspect information non-mechanically recorded in a marginal area along an edge of the photographic film;
- generating an aspect information signal based on the detected aspect information;
- transforming the photographic image recorded on the photographic film into the electrical image signal;
- detecting film type information non-mechanically recorded on the photographic film;
- correcting the electrical image signal based on the detected film type information;
- generating a frame number signal for the photographic image transformed into the electrical image signal;
- superimposing the electrical image signal with the aspect information signal and the frame number signal;
- transforming the superimposed electrical image signal into an adjusted size superimposed electrical image signal for display on the display device; and
- transforming the superimposed electrical image signal as to data size for printing on the printing device in accordance with the detected aspect information signal.
- 7. The method of transforming a photographic image according to claim 6, further comprising the step of changing an aspect of the electrical image signal corresponding to the image based on the detected aspect information.
- 8. The method of transforming a photographic image according to claim 6, further comprising the step of transforming the adjusted size superimposed electrical image signal as to a type of data for printing.
- 9. A method of transforming a photographic image formed on a frame of a photographic film into an electrical image signal, the method comprising the steps of:
- positioning the photographic film on a film positioning base;
- detecting aspect information non-mechanically recorded in a marginal area along an edge of the photographic film;
- generating an aspect information signal based on the detected aspect information;
- transforming the photographic image recorded on the photographic film into the electrical image signal; and
- transforming a data size of the electrical image signal for a computer or a printer in accordance with the aspect information signal.
