Abstract
In a final phase of the photographic process a customer generally receives an envelope containing a group of prints and a plurality of strips of negatives associated with the prints. Packaging the prints and negatives in this manner can lead to the negatives getting demand and/or the negatives getting separated from the original prints, thus making it difficult to produce high quailty reprints and making it difficult to determine which negative is to be reprinted. A photographic image set including an index print integrally stored with the associated negative strips provides a convenient single storage and retrieval system. A method of making the photographic image set provides acceptable overall exposure of the index print and reduces the incidence of damage to the negative strips.
