Abstract
A method for producing photographic prints includes the steps of optically capturing a plurality of images on an image storage medium, such as photographic film, a photosensitive electronic sensor, or both film and sensor, creating digital image files from the captured images, viewing on a display images produced by the digital image files, selecting desired ones of the plurality of images for printing as photographic prints, and making corrections to the desired images with respect to at east one of cropping, skewing and rotation parameters. The corrections and desired image information are stored in electronic form as an order file and the order file is transmitted to a photographic lab, which uses the transmitted order file to drive image printing equipment to automatically produce from the digital image files the photographic prints.
