A photofinishing system 20 for automatically processing image and associated image data pursuant to customer output requests. The system includes an order manager 22 operative to receive and control processing of the output requests and at least one source of image related data corresponding to the output request. An input interface 30 receives the image related data from the source and converts the data to a digital data stream E. A memory is included for storing the digital data stream E. The system further includes a data parser 36 disposed in communication with the memory to extract selected data streams according to the order manager 22 and to reduce the data into respective image files having respective groups of data fields. An output module 40 is responsive to the order manager 22 and is operative to produce a photofinished output organized with respect to the data fields.
