Abstract: A method and system for generating a bordered split screen video display. In preferred embodiment, the invention generates a composite signal from digital signals representing reference and scanned film images, converts the composite signal to a composite video signal, and displays the composite video signal as a bordered split screen video display. The invention can be embodied in a film scanning system which includes a processor for digitally correcting a digital signal representing a digitized film image, such as by performing digital color correction on the digital signal. The film scanning system also includes field store circuitry for storing the corrected digital signal and a digital reference signal, circuitry for generating a composite signal from the stored reference and corrected signal, and circuitry for generating a composite video signal from the composite signal.

Abstract: A camera comprised of an electronic imager and a plurality of display/frame stores. Each of the plurality of display/frame stores is individually selectable, for example, by a transparent touch-sensitive media positioned over the plurality of display stores. The selection acts to either retain or to discard the displayed image. Retained images may be downloaded to an optional memory module in the camera or to a larger, non-integral, data base/printer for providing finished photos of the images selected for saving. An auxiliary storage may be attached to expand the number of images that may be retained prior to downloading.
