Predetermined subordinate parts of the second set of the color signals are calculated from predetermined second portions of the first set of the color signals and the calculation coefficients according to an interpolation. The determined main parts of the second set of the color signals and the calculated subordinate parts of the second set of the color signals are combined into a whole of the second set of the color signals.

Abstract: There is provided an improved image reader. In the image reader, light from an object is converted into an analog signal by a photoelectric converter.

A digital picture signal corresponding to a dark current flowing to the photoelectric converter is stored in a memory as a dark current data. Also a digital picture signal corresponding to the optical strength of predetermined level is stored in another memory as a white level data. Then, the top and bottom reference voltages are produced which correspond to the top and bottom quantization-threshold values on the basis of the dark current and white level data, respectively. The top and bottom reference voltages are then respectively applied to the A/D converter to produce the digital picture signal without signal distortion.

The electronic image of the entire frame, or alternatively only a part of the electronic image corresponding to an unexposed area of the frame, may be used to determine the development conditions.
