Description
CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
[0001] This application is a continuation of commonly-assigned U.S.
patent application Ser. No. 09/156,815 filed Sep. 18, 1998.
Reference is also made to commonly assigned U.S. patent application
No. 09/141,686 filed Aug. 28, 1998, entitled "Selecting, Arranging,
and Printing Digital Images From Thumbnail Images" to Bubie et al
the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference.
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0002] This invention relates to producing digital colored prints
from scanned original film by a particular printer.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0003] Digital colored images are often produced by electronic
still cameras. They include an image sensor which has appropriate
color filters. Analog signals are converted into digital signals
and digital images are produced which are often called a digital
file. There are many storage devices on which these digital images
can be stored, including floppy magnetic discs, hard magnetic disc
drives, optical discs including write once discs, digital tape, and
flash cards. Oftentimes, a user will capture digital images on a
digital camera and store them on a storage device. These images may
later be downloaded to a host computer and printed using a local
printer, such as a color inkjet printer, or sent via the internet
to a remote printing service.
[0004] In another approach to providing digital colored images, a
photographic film is scanned, digitized and converted to a digital
file for each image. The Kodak PhotoCD.TM. system is an example of
one such arrangement for scanning, digitizing, and providing a
digital file for each image. Often, a user will have a service that
will scan and digitize images to provide a digital file. These
files are provided on memory storage media, such as a Kodak PhotoCD
disc. A user may also purchase software programs or applications
which will operate on these image files. These applications permit
the customer to access, view, modify, and/or print the image files
as desired. Adobe Photoshop.TM. is an example of software that can
operate on digital image files to drive a printer for producing
output images. The application that operate on the images to
produce prints, such as Photoshop, are provided separately, rather
than on the same PhotoCD disc that stores a customer's film images.
As a result, it is difficult for an unskilled user to load the
appropriate software into their host computer, launch the
application (e.g. Photoshop) and then open the desired images from
the PhotoCD, one at a time, in order to select and print images on
their home printer.
[0005] A problem with many home printing arrangements is that they
often require operator adjustment and that they are cumbersome and
can take a significant amount of time. One reason for this is that
there are a number of different printers and papers that can be
used. In order to couple a printer to a stored color digital image,
enabling software must be provided. High quality printers typically
have a pull down or displayed menu which permits a user to select a
particular type of printer transform to produce a print. For
example, when Adobe Photoshop software is used to drive an Epson
Stylus Photo Ink Jet Printer, the Epson printer has a number of
user selectable modes such as Photo, Photoenhance, Graph, Text, and
Advanced Photo, but these modes must be selected by the user. These
can be used by skilled users to provide improved printing of
continuous tone images from digital files made from scanning film
negatives, such as from PhotoCD. However, the modes do not provide
the best possible prints, since they do not take into account the
print paper that is used. Furthermore, since a "Photo" mode is not
automatically selected when a PhotoCD image is to be printed, an
unskilled user may inadvertently use an undesirable mode, such as
"text" or "graph", when printing the continuous tone images, thus
producing poor quality prints.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0006] It is an object of the present invention to provide an
effective way of producing high quality digital colored prints from
digital images captured on film.
[0007] Another object of this invention is to produce high quality
digital customized colored prints with a minimum of operator
intervention by selecting the appropriate printer mode of
operation.
[0008] Another object is to provide an arrangement that makes it
possibly for a new computer user to simply and easily view their
personal digital images on a home computer, select desired images
for printing, and produce the best possible prints on their home
printer.
[0009] These objects are achieved by a method of providing colored
adjusted digital files which can be used to make prints by a
printing system, including a computer and a local printer,
controlled by enabling software stored on the removable storage
medium, the original images being provided on colored film,
comprising the steps of:
[0010] a) scanning the colored film to produce a plurality of
digital files representing colored digital images;
[0011] b) adjusting the digital files to produce color adjusted
digital files, such adjustments including tone scale
correction;
[0012] c) providing enabling software including at least one
software application program for operating the computer that
enables the color adjusted digital files to be printed on the local
printer, and
[0013] c) transferring the color adjusted digital files and the
enabling software to the removable storage medium.
[0014] The present invention can consistently produce high quality
colored digitally produced prints from scanned film. At least two
major steps are used. The scanned digital image is color adjusted
prior to being transferred to a storage medium. It is stored along
with enabling printing software. Thereafter, the color adjusted
digital image is transformed so that it is customized to work with
a particular printer.
[0015] An advantage of the present invention is that by color
managing the digital image at or after scanning and then storing
the image with enabling software on a medium and thereafter
transforming the digital image to be consistent with a particular
printer, a high quality colored digital print image is produced. It
has been determined that it is necessary to first color adjust the
digital image and then transform it for printing. By storing both
the printing enabling software and the color adjusted digital image
on the same medium, such as a magnetic disc, optical disc, or a
flash memory card, users can conveniently make colored prints which
are aesthetically pleasing. The present invention eliminates the
need for operator adjustments and provides a way that a user can
rapidly store colored digital images and then convert those stored
colored digital images to aesthetically pleasing prints directly.
In accordance with the present invention, the printer mode may be
automatically selected so that it is able to produce a print which
provides the best photographic rendition.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0023] FIG. 1 illustrates a system which can be used for scanning a
color film, storing a color adjusted scanned image on a storage
medium and also storing printing enabling software on the same
medium. More specifically, a photographic original such as a film
negative or a slide 10 is scanned by a scanning device 12. The
scanning device 12 produces a colored digital image having a number
of pixels, for example 3072 columns by 2048 rows of red, green, and
blue pixel values. Scanners that can be used in accordance with the
invention are well known in the art, such as a the Kodak PCD-2000
Scanner. See also commonly assigned U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,218,455;
5,461,492; 5,555,042; and 5,565,912.
[0024] The digital image signals from the scanner are forwarded to
a computer workstation 14. These digital image signals are color
adjusted and temporarily stored or passed directly to a CD recorder
16 by the operation of the workstation 14. The CD recorder 16
causes the color adjusted digital image data 22 to be recorded on a
write-once compact disc 18, along with software 20 to enable image
printing. Alternately, a hybrid compact disc may be used, as
described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,595,389 (incorporated herein by
reference) where the software 20 is prepressed at the time the disc
is manufactured, and only the digital images 22 are written to the
disc as the film is scanned. The compact disc 18 may be supplied to
the user with a reference strip 24 which is useful in calibrating
the user's home printer to provide improved prints.
[0025] FIG. 2A illustrates a system which can be used for viewing
and printing the images from compact disc 18 using the software
contained on compact disc 18.
[0026] The compact disc 18, which can be a write once disc, is
inserted into a read only memory (CDR-ROM) drive 44 in a host
computer 40. Alternatively, the images 22 and software 20 can be
stored on a floppy magnetic disc medium 60 to provide digital image
input. This floppy disc 60 is inserted into a floppy disc drive 46.
Images 22 and software 20 can also be provided on a removable
memory card 32 and, as shown in FIG. 2A, this removable memory
card, which can be flash EPROM memory, can be inserted into memory
card reader 48 and can also be directly inserted into a smart
printer 62 as shown in FIG. 2B. A CPU 50 will be understood to use
software in accordance with the present invention that will be
described in more detail in FIGS. 3-6. This software can be
downloaded from the compact disc 18, CD recorder (writer) 16, or
removable memory card 32 and stored on a hard drive 56. The CPU 50
is directly coupled to a display monitor 52 and a keyboard 54. A
mouse 55 permits the user to readily communicate with the CPU 50.
The CPU 50 is in direct communication with a local printer 58 which
produces a hard copy print.
[0027] Turning now to FIG. 3 which depicts a block diagram of a
process in accordance with the present invention. In step 100, the
film is scanned by film scanner 12 in FIG. 1. In step 102, a film
calibration transformation is performed. An important feature of
the present invention is that the scanned colored digital images
stored on the media in step 106 are provided in a proper image data
metric as described in commonly assigned U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,609,978
and 5,432,906, the disclosures of which are incorporated herein by
reference. In order to provide the proper image data metric, the
film scanner 12 must be calibrated for the particular film. This
calibration transformation 102 is implemented in workstation 14 to
convert a properly exposed digital film image to the proper image
data metric. If the film image was under or over exposed, or was
not taken under the normal film illumination condition (e.g.
daylight balanced film taken under tungsten light), the image is
further density and color balance adjusted in step 104 to correct
for these conditions, as well as for any other conditions due to
non-ideal film manufacturing or keeping problems. Automatic
algorithms that provide this correction are well known in the art,
and are accomplished in a conventional Kodak PhotoCD system. See,
for example, commonly assigned U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,969,204; 5,505,230;
and 5,227,789. Furthermore, though not listed in FIG. 3, other
image processing functions can also be performed, such as image
sharpening and compression.
[0028] The color adjusted digital file is then stored to memory in
step 106 along with enabling software 20, for example an
application program that allows users to view and print the images.
This hybrid media is then inserted into a computer 108. The digital
memory 18, 60, or 32 is inserted into the proper reader 44, 46, or
48 in computer 40, shown in FIG. 2.
[0029] When the media, for example compact disc 18 is inserted into
the computer system 40 via CD-ROM drive 44, the enabling software
20 may be automatically installed and launched, as will be
described in more detail below with reference to FIG. 4. High
quality digital colored prints are produced with minimum of
operator intervention. This is accomplished automatically by code
provided on each compact disc 18. Software 20 that is particularly
adaptable for providing some of these features is KODAK Picture
Easy 3.0. Color adjusted digital images currently on the compact
disc 18 are accessed by the software 20 for immediate use/printing.
In order for this to occur, the computer system 40, into which the
compact disc 18 is being loaded, must evaluate the disc to
determine if it has been enabled with the software 20. If the
computer 40 is already enabled with the KODAK Picture Easy 3.0
software, the software is launched (step 110) with all the color
adjusted digital images on the compact disc 18 being accessible by
the software for immediate use/printing. If the computer 40 is not
enabled with the KODAK Picture Easy 3.0 software, the software
installer for KODAK Picture Easy 3.0 is launched in order to enable
the computer 40 to access the images on compact disc 18. After the
software has been launched, as shown in step 110, images to be
printed are selected in step 112 and printed by the printer 58
(FIG. 2) as shown in step 114.
[0030] FIG. 4 will now be discussed in detail with reference to
using the KODAK Picture Easy 3.0 software. As shown in step 210, a
CD 18 containing both the printing enabling software 20 and
adjusted digital images 22 is inserted into CD-ROM drive 44 at
computer 40 operating in an autorun mode, such as in, for example,
Pentium.TM. PC utilizing the Windows 95.TM., Windows 98.TM.
operating system. The computer 40 will launch the program to
evaluate (step 220) the computer hard drive 56. This evaluation
(step 230) consists of searching the computer operating system for
the existence of registry keys which indicate the location of the
printing enabling software and confirming the location on the hard
drive 56. A determination is made (step 240) of the existence of
the printing enabling software. If the printing enabling software
does not exist in hard drive 56, an installation program (step 250)
will be initiated and it will install the printing enabling
software. If the printing enabling software exists on the hard
drive 56, or has just been installed (step 250), the printing
enabling software is directly initiated (step 260). In initiating
the printing enabling software, the adjusted digital images 18 will
automatically become available for printing.
[0031] A "preview picture screen" 300 (shown in FIG. 5) is
displayed on the display screen 52 showing a two-dimensional array
of thumbnail images 302 obtained from the compact disc 19. The
thumbnail images 302 preferably have a lower resolution than the
full size images stored on computer disc 18. The user can select
multiple images (e.g., four images) by pressing either a control
key (not shown) or a shift key (not shown) on the keyboard 54 while
clicking the mouse 55 on any number of thumbnail images 302. FIG. 5
shows that four thumbnail images 302a, 302b, 302c, and 302d (which
are outlined) have been selected. If the disc 18 contains a large
number of thumbnail images 302, arrow controls 304 on the right
portion of the "preview picture screen" 300 enable the user to
scroll through the larger number of thumbnail images 302 to view a
group of the thumbnail images 302 (e.g., 15 thumbnail images) at a
time.
[0032] Once a thumbnail image 302 has been selected, the user can
choose to crop the selected images 302 by selecting a "crop" icon
312. The computer then brings up a crop screen (not shown) which
allows images to be trimmed.
[0033] The user can then select additional images (e.g., three
images) to be printed again pressing the control key or the shift
key on the keyboard 54 while clicking the mouse 55 on any number of
thumbnail images 302.
[0034] The "preview picture screen" 300 also displays a set of
function icons on the periphery of the screen 300, including a
"local print" icon 308 and a "slide show" icon 310. The user can
print all of these selected images on the local printer 58, for
example, a color ink jet printer, by clicking on the "local print"
icon 308. This brings up a "print function display screen" 400
shown in FIG. 6. The user then chooses a type of layout. The user
can choose one of several predefined "layout" icons 402 on the
periphery of the "print function display screen" 400 which
determines how many pictures appear on each page by selecting, for
example, 1, 2, 4, 9, or 16 images to be printed per page.
Alternatively, the user can select a custom layout 403. The custom
layout 403 allows the user to specify the number of columns and
rows of images, the horizontal and vertical spacing between images,
and the top margin and left margin of the printed page. Once a
predefined layout is chosen, the images to be printed appear in a
print preview area 422 on the "print function display screen" 400.
Based on the number of selected pictures to be printed on a page,
the program will automatically select the orientation of the images
to best fill up the page. FIG. 6 shows, as an example, four images
420a, 420b, 420c, and 420d, which correspond to the selected
thumbnail images 302a, 302b, 302c, and 302d, respectively, shown in
FIG. 5.
[0035] Next, the user chooses whether to have the same or different
images appear on each page. To have the same one image repeated on
one page to be printed (e.g., four copies of one image per page),
the user selects a "grouping" icon 404. Alternatively, to have all
of the selected images appear on the page(s) to be printed (e.g.,
four different images on one page), the user selects a "collating"
icon 406.
[0036] The user then chooses the number of sets of images to print,
for example, three copies of each laid out page, by typing in the
number of desired sets in a text field 408 on the left portion of
the "print function display screen" 400 by using the up and down
arrow keys on the right portion of icon 410. After making these
selections, the user can press a "print now" icon 410 and walk away
from the host computer 14. Each of the selected images will be
printed automatically on the local printer 58, without further user
interaction.
[0037] The program prepares the printed layout by calculating the
image size which enables the selected number of images to fit on a
page, and rotating the selected images as necessary so that
landscape oriented images and portrait oriented images fit together
on the page to be printed. The image data is automatically
interpolated or decimated to provide the proper image data to fill
the page with the selected number of images. In this process, the
program also calculates for "white space" to be positioned between
the images to facilitate the cutting of the page into individual
pictures. In other words, the program calculates the number of the
selected images in vertical and horizontal directions, and
calculates the size of the selected images in the vertical and
horizontal directions to cause "white space" to separate the
selected images. When the images are printed, the orientation of
the images is printed to best "fill up the page" based on the
selected number of images.
[0038] An example of a PC Card Flash and Compact Flash Card Reader
48 is the "CameraConnect" (.TM.) made by ActionTec Electronics,
Inc., 1269 Innsbruck Drive, Sunnyvale, Calif. Examples of removable
memory cards 32 are the Flash Memory Versa card Model #P-CF030-PA,
the COMPACTFLASH (TM) made by SanDisc and described in U.S. Pat.
Nos. 5,070,032; 5,172,338; 5,268,870; and 5,279,148.
EXAMPLES
Example 1
[0039] A series of film negatives and slides were first scanned
using the Kodak PhotoCD Scanner. The digital images were color
adjusted using PhotoCD software. The color adjusted digital images
were then transferred to an optical write-once compact disc as
Flashpix image files.
[0040] To this write-once compact disc was also transferred the
printing enabling software known as the Kodak Picture Easy 3.0 so
that this compact disc contained both the color adjusted digital
images and the printing enabling software.
[0041] This compact disc was then inserted into a Gateway 2000
computer and the Kodak Picture Easy Software was installed from the
disc.
[0042] Using the Kodak Picture Easy Software, the color adjusted
digital images were imported from the compact disc and sent to an
Epson Stylus Photo Ink Jet Printer with no image manipulation. In a
few minutes the printed images were obtained on Kodak Ink Jet Paper
and were of very high quality.
Example 2
[0043] A series of film negatives and slides were first scanned
using the Kodak PhotoCD Scanner. The digital images were color
adjusted using PhotoCD software. The color adjusted digital images
were then transferred to a 30 MB Flash Memory Versa Card using a
CameraConnect (.TM.) PC Card and Compact Flash Reader and a Gateway
2000 Computer and stored to Flashpix image files.
[0044] To this same Flash Memory Versa Card was also transferred
the printing enabling software known as Kodak Picture Easy 3.0 so
that this Flash Memory Card contained both the color adjusted
digital images and printing enabling software.
[0045] This Flash Memory Card was then used by the computer to
access the Kodak Picture Easy Software.
[0046] Using the Kodak Picture Easy Software, the color adjusted
digital images were imported from the Flash Memory Card and sent to
an Epson Stylus Photo Ink Jet Printer with no image manipulation.
In a few minutes the printed images were obtained on Kodak Ink Jet
Paper and were of very high quality.
Example 3
[0047] The Flash Memory Card of Example 2 which contained both the
scanned film images and the printing enabling software was inserted
into a Panasonic Photo Printer PV-PD2000. In this case the digital
images are read by the Printer and printed directly to its thermal
paper. Since the original scanned film images were of high quality
the final prints were also of high quality.
[0048] The present invention is particularly useful for producing a
memory storage product comprising a readable storage medium
produced by the steps outlined above. The memory storage product
can be a removable memory card 32 using flash EPROM memory which is
useable directly by a printer 62 or it can alternately comprise,
for example, magnetic storage media such as magnetic disc (such as
a floppy disc) or magnetic tape; optical storage media such as
optical disc, optical tape, or machine readable bar code; solid
state electronic storage devices such as random access memory
(RAM), or programmable read only memory (PROM); or any other
physical device or medium employed to operate a printer.
[0049] The invention has been described in detail with particular
reference to certain preferred embodiments thereof, but it will be
understood that variations and modifications can be effected within
the spirit and scope of the invention.
