Abstract: A method of printing image frames from a digital image file of a motion picture includes providing a two-dimensional LCD modulator having predetermined pixels which selectively can be activated so as to respond to incident light to provide monochromatic visual images; responding to the digital image file to activate the pixels in the LCD modulator to provide visual image planes corresponding to each frame of the motion picture; and moving a photosensitive medium past the LCD modulator to illuminate different portions of such medium from the illuminated LCD modulator to record the image planes on such medium.

Abstract: A method for receiving digital images from a digital image file and recording corresponding visual images onto a motion picture photosensitive medium includes receiving information related to the image aperture format and image type positive or negative of the digital images to be recorded on the motion picture photosensitive medium.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for correcting non-uniformity in images created by a raster scan film recorder reduces non-uniformity-based image artifacts by novelly using two-dimensional correction: correction of input digital pixel data based upon the scan line position of the pixel, and the value (signal level) of the input pixel data. In the preferred embodiment, the line non-uniformity corrector is a bus-based digital circuit with a comprehensive look up table having corrections for each scan line pixel position, for all possible pixel intensity values. In alternate embodiments, memory requirements for the line non-uniformity correction table can be reduced by, for example, making non-uniformity corrections based upon groups of pixels, rather than upon single pixels, with the number of pixels in each group being inversely proportional to the memory requirement.
