Patent number: 7782347Abstract: A printing apparatus (100) for printing digital images onto a photosensitive medium (140) employing, for exposure energy, a light source (20) that uses various arrays of LEDs (32). The printing apparatus (100) may form the print image using sequential modulation, one color at a time, or by applying all colors simultaneously. Arrangements of discrete LEDs (32) may include high-intensity devices configured with collector cones (41) arranged as a multicone structure (141), with parabolic reflectors (65), or collimating lenses (36). Large area LEDs (46) may alternately be used, arranged on an angled mounting surface (64), for example.Type: GrantFiled: January 22, 2008Date of Patent: August 24, 2010Assignee: Eastman Kodak CompanyInventors: Martin E.

Patent number: 7782439Abstract: A method for communicating and preserving creative intent within a motion picture production chain, including a production stage, and at least one of a subsequent laboratory or post production stage, including capturing an original image of a scene during the production stage; generating a look representative of a creative intent, wherein the look is a digital representation of a creative alteration of the captured original scene image; and applying the look to the captured original scene image and confirming approval of the look during the production stage. The digital representation of the look is stored as a recipe for generating the creative alteration, and communicated from the production stage to at least one of the subsequent laboratory and post-production stages for applying the look to the captured motion picture footage during subsequent laboratory and post-production stages.Type: GrantFiled: May 14, 2009Date of Patent: August 24, 2010Assignee: Eastman Kodak CompanyInventors: Mitchell J.

Patent number: 7333669Abstract: In processing a digital image to provide a desired grain appearance, a noise table is formed that represents noise magnitude vs. intensity of the image. A plurality of potential image processing paths are provided. Each path has one or more image transforms. The noise table is modified according to the image transforms in the respective image processing paths to provide a plurality of output noise tables. Noise metrics are generated from each of the output noise tables. The noise metrics each represent the appearance of the image processed by the respective image processing path. An input is then accepted designating one of the paths. The image is processed according to the designated image processing path to provide an output image having desired noise.Type: GrantFiled: January 18, 2005Date of Patent: February 19, 2008Assignee: Eastman Kodak CompanyInventors: Andrew C. Gallagher, Martin E. Oehlbeck, Nestor M. Rodriguez
