ABSTRACT:
An automatic picture taking system has a housing which may be in the form of a booth. The housing contains a video camera (20) and is arranged to produce a video picture of a subject in a picture taking zone (3). The video picture can be converted to a print e.g. using a digital thermal color printer (24, 25). The video picture is stored in memory and can be processed to give a desired composition prior to printing. The picture may consist of the image of the subject which is separated from the background using chroma keying and which is then combined with a selected electronically prestored background or foreground.
