Abstract
Photographic film having an image and means for receiving coded indicia is viewed in a film video player to produce a television signal for displaying the film image. The film video player includes cropping means for selectively varying the magnification of the displayed image and for selectively translating a magnified displayed image vertically and/or horizontally, and recording means for applying coded indicia to the film, specifying a selected magnification and vertical and horizontal translation. A printer for making reflection prints from the photographic film includes reading means for reading the coded indicia on the film and cropping means for varying the magnification of the printed image, and translating a magnified image vertically and/or horizontally, in response to the coded indicia.
