Method and apparatus for displaying picture frames of color photograhic films.

摘要

Picture frames on a color photographic film (10) are image-picked up with a television camera (44), and the color images of the picture frames are displayed in a matrix arrangement on a color monitor (46a). In order to display color images of picture frames at the same dimension on the color display irrespective of the picture frame size of the color photographic film (10), a specific area from which pixels are picked up is determined in accordance with the picture frame size, and pixel thinning is performed. Pixels for an image taken as a full size on the 135 type color photographic film are thinned every second pixel in both the vertical and horizontal directions, and pixels for an image taken as a half size on the 135 type color photographic film are thinned every second pixel in the vertical direction within the specific area, and the vertical and horizontal addresses are interchanged to read the image data rotated by 90 degrees. Pixels for an image on a 110 type color photographic film are all picked from the specific area as the image data.
