Method for setting and managing conditions in photographic printing

摘要

A method for setting and managing photographic printing conditions of a printing system in which an exposure is carries out in several times on a recording paper with respect to respective monocolors (R, G and B) to prepare a reference image consisting of a plurality of areas having different densities. The densitites of the three respective colors of the reference image are measured and the thus measured density data is then stored, and an amount of exposure necessary for obtaining predetermined densities regarding the three colors from a preliminarily prepared relationship between the exposure amount and the densities regarding the respective three colors is then obtained. In accordance with the thus obtained amount of exposure, the exposure conditions for the respective three colors are set or corrected.
