ABSTRACT:
A film processing system that removes film strips from their cartridges, splices the strips together for processing and printing, and then separates the strips for return and reattachment to the same cartridge from which they were removed. The empty cartridges are maintained during processing in a magazine in the same sequential order and corresponding batch as the spliced film strips, to facilitate matching of the film strips and cartridges at the end of the process. According to other features, the spliced roll of film strips is unwound and rewound after development, once for electronically scanning the film strips to capture electronic representations of the developed images, and again for optically printing the developed images onto photographic paper. The film strips include magnetically recorded information, representing conditions of camera exposure, that are captured during scanning before printing.
