A method and apparatus for creating a digital image on photographic paper and subsequent correction of color. The method and apparatus provides a digital image printer that is capable of rapidly producing digital images on photographic paper having good clarity and sharpness and correct color content. Further, the method and apparatus provides a digital image printer having a controllable lamp house that is easily removable and may be coupled with conventional photographic printers. The apparatus is a digital printer having a central processor for retrieving digital images stored on a file and for creating an inverted image of the digital images, a projecting means controller that is electrically connected to the central processor, an imaging means that is electrically connected to the projecting means controller for creating and transmitting a color corrected image, a lamp house that is positioned adjacent the imaging means for creating an optical signal and modulating the spectral content of the optical signal, a spectral content analyzer that is attached to the lamp house, a lamp house controller coupled to the lamp house, a lens system for focusing the color corrected image onto photographic paper, and a paper drive means having a supply and take-up for providing and advancing photographic paper.
