Abstract: A method for saving, accessing and reprinting a digitized photographic image of a user at a photography booth comprising the steps of: generating a code corresponding to the digitized photographic image; printing a first hard copy of the digital photographic image so that the code appears either on the first hard copy, on a separate receipt or on the photo booth itself; saving the digitized photographic image as the set of digital information under the code onto a first computer readable means capable of storing digital information; accessing the digitized photographic image comprising the steps of, entering the code, as it appears on the hard copy, receipt or photography booth, into a means for accessing the set of digital information from the first computer readable means capable of storing digital information, retrieving the saved digitized photographic image, and printing a second hard copy of the digitized photographic image in various alternative print formats.

Abstract: A method of simulating the creation of a mock artist's drawing or painting image on a monitor, from an electronically-stored image, comprising translating the electronically-stored image into instructions capable of creating the mock image; generating and displaying on the monitor an icon which simulates drawing or painting the mock image; and using the instructions to move the icon across the monitor, wherein the mock image is created gradually as the icon moves across the monitor, to simulate the process by which an artist may create the mock image. Also disclosed is a device for accomplishing the methods of this invention.
