  • Patent number: 6965447
    Abstract: The present invention concerns a method for producing prints, on which a specific image is printed based on a specific information set when a captured image is printed as a visible image on the print, based on image data of the captured image. The method includes the steps of: reading a plurality of specific information sets and a plurality of associate information sets, both of which are stored in a server, installed on a network, in such a manner that each of the specific information sets relates to each of the associate information sets in regard to a date and time and/or each of the associate information sets for identifying or classifying the specific information sets; selecting a part of specific information sets out of a plurality of the specific information sets read from the server, based on the associate information sets; and printing the specific image, based on the specific information set, on the print on which the captured image is also printed.

  • Patent number: 6015653
    Abstract: A method for processing a transparent silver halide color photographic material is disclosed. The transparent silver halide photographic light-sensitive material is treated with a processing solution containing a compound represented by Formula (I).Formula I ##STR1## wherein Q is a group of atoms necessary for forming a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic ring (including one condensed with a 5- or 6-member unsaturated ring), R.sub.11 is a hydrogen atom, an alkali metal atom, ##STR2## or an alkyl group, Q' is a synonym for Q.sub.1. After the treating, a ratio (E/G) of a light absorbance E of unexposed area of the light-sensitive material at 650 nm to an amount of silver G mg/m.sup.2 remaining in the light-sensitive material is within the range of from 3.0.times.10.sup.-4 to 1.5.times.10.sup.-3 in the silver halide photogrpahic light-sensitive material,A transparent silver halide color photographic material is also disclosed.
