  • System and method for transferring images on an image content of a first format to a photosensitive film of a second format
    Patent number: 6094541
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a system and method of transferring images from an image content of a first format to a photosensitive film of a second format. The image content of the first format can include photosensitive material such as an exposed roll of 35 mm film, a photographic print, a floppy disk, a compact disc, etc. With the system and method of the present invention, it is possible for a customer to take, for example, an existing negative and have it transferred onto an Advanced Photo System film format. Therefore, in the system and method of the present invention, original exposed film such as 35 mm, 110 film, etc., can be scanned to produce a digital record of the images. The record of the images can be sent to a digital film writer where a preferred format, for example, Advanced Photo System film, can be obtained. The Advanced Photo System film can then be placed in a thrust-type film cartridge.
