Abstract
A system for creating an index print, generated from a negative strip having one or more frame images, independent of sequentially scanning each frame on the negative strip, the system includes a scanner for substantially simultaneously creating a composite digital image of the negative strip from the negative placed on the scanner independent of the position or orientation of the negative on the scanner. An image locator operatively connected to the scanner for locating each digital representation in the composite digital image of the individual frame images on the negative strip. A printer operatively connected to the locator for printing the index print from a signal from the locator.
