Problems solved by technology

A software program may also be updated with a version of a software program of the same name that is no longer compatible with an older version because the underlying code has changed, or the structure of the stored files has changed, if the files were stored in an older format, this will cause these files to no longer be usable

Abstract

A stand-alone image automated processing system and method. The method comprises the steps of: accessing at least one image in digital form; writing the at least one digital image to a photosensitive medium to generate an at least one exposed film image; mechanically transporting the at least one exposed film image to a chemical processor; and automatically chemically processing the at least one exposed film image to generate a film output image.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates generally to the field of imaging. More specifically, the present invention relates to a system and method for processing images. Background technique [0002] Photography, which captures images, is loved by many individuals. Images can be captured using different techniques. Commonly used photosensitive film (eg, 35mm film, APS film) can be used, where the exposed photosensitive film is processed to produce a hard copy print. With the advent of digital photography, digital still cameras can be used to capture digital images. Hardcopy photographs of the digital images can be made using known techniques, such as using a printer or sending the digital images to an on-line service provider such as Ofoto, Inc. A Koak Company for printing. [0003] Individuals may wish to save captured images. For example, an image might be of a family member. For conventional film and processing, negatives, positives, paper hardcopy prin...
