Abstract: An image of a preselected subject is photographed by a camera and is recorded on a reversal film, and a film image thus recorded is read by a scanner and is stored in a storing medium. Data of a photographic processing control image prepared by computer graphics is stored in the storing medium, and a composite image of the image of the subject and the control image is prepared. The image data of a subject portion of the composite image and the image data of a control image portion of the composite image are independently corrected, then the composite image with the corrected image data is recorded on the reversal film, and then the composite image recorded on the reversal film is printed with a negative film interposed therebetween. These operations are repeated until respective subject images of the print obtained by the composite image and of a print obtained by photographing the subject have substantially the same quality and the density and color balance of the control image portion become proper.
