摘要： Rapid development of silver bromoiodide color negative photographic films and formation of high quality negative images suitable for scanning to produce display images of excellent quality is made possible by a novel developer solution composition and method of development. The solution is characterized by containing, in addition to the color developer compound and conventional photographic developer solution components, a water soluble pyrrolidone polymer, a high concentration of sulfite ion and a low concentration, or the absence of, bromide ion. In the novel method the developer composition contacts the exposed film at elevated temperature, e.g., 40 to 66° C., for a short development time, e.g., 20 to 90 seconds. The developed image has image quality suitable for scanning and digital manipulation to produce a digital record for forming a color display image of high quality.

摘要： A method for deriving a color negative film developer composition and processing conditions for developing a photographic film image which is optimized for subsequent digital scanning and digital image file manipulation, which allows for optimum rapid development processing of the film is disclosed. The process includes identifying at least one independent variable that has a first order effect on the density of at least one of the red, green, and blue dye images of the developed image, selecting a desired range of values for the independent variables identified, formulating an experimental design that includes desired independent variables over the desired range of values, performing the experiment to obtain statistically significant values for desired dependent variables, applying the values to a mathematical model capable of providing a formula for optimizing responses to the dependent variables, and using the formula to identify desired optimal developer composition and processing conditions resulting in an developed image in which the subsequent required digital scanning and digital image file manipulation is reduced. Also disclosed is a method for providing a color display image including developing an imagewise exposed color silver halide negative working film having at least two color records, with a color developer solution composition and under development process conditions derived in accordance with the above process, scanning the developed film to form density representative signals for the at least two color records, and digitally manipulating the density representative signals thus formed to correct either or both interimage interaction and gamma mismatches among said at least two color records to produce a digital record providing a display image having desired aim color and tone scale reproduction, such that the digital manipulation is minimized.

摘要： A technique for achieving essentially perfect reconstruction of an M level image by forming at least two non-dependent digital images from an original digital image and by determining the quantization levels M of the original digital image and then forming the two non-dependent images by quantizing the original M level image to two M/2 level images, one being rounded down and the other being rounded up in value. A reconstructed image, having a higher resolution than any of the non-dependent M/2 digital images is formed by combining and averaging at least two of the non-dependent images.

摘要： An improved method and associated mechanism for facilitating the transformation of digitized images intended for use in a multi-resolution, multi-application environment by performing complex transformations on low resolution image components and approximate transformations on the high level image components so as to reduce computational complexity. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the transformation operator is executed upon a relatively low spatial resolution file, thereby resulting in a substantial reduction in processing overhead. Advantage is thus taken of the availability of the reduced size of the lower spatial resolution base file within the hierarchical database, so that a relatively complex conversion may be performed on a small number of pixels within the base file, prior to up-converting the image to a relatively high spatial resolution image, such as a 2048.times.3072 pixel image for driving a high resolution digital thermal color printer.

摘要： A control tool for monitoring a predetermined process condition in a photographic process and method of making the control tool. The control tool includes a support element having a plurality of rows, each row having a plurality of visual density patches and representing a different process condition. At least one of the rows is used for monitoring a process condition being monitored and at least one of the other of the rows identifies an out-of-control process condition. The plurality of rows of visual density patches are designed to be correlated with a process control strip that has been processed in the photographic process to be monitored, the support element further having textual information identifying at least one process condition and describing the process condition that may need to be corrected in response to correlation of the control strip to the control tool.
