ABSTRACT:
A photographic film inspection apparatus for inspecting a photographic film before it undergoes exposure. The photographic film inspection apparatus includes an exposure condition reading unit for reading from the photographic film information regarding exposure conditions necessary for exposure including information regarding each picture frame, a digital image information capturing unit for dividing an image recorded on each picture frame of the photographic film into a plurality of pixels and for capturing them as data, an image presence/absence detection unit for detecting whether or not an image is recorded in a predetermined photographable area of the photographic film, an exposure condition calculation unit for calculating exposure conditions used during exposure based on the exposure condition information read by the exposure condition reading unit, and a digital image information correction unit for correcting the digital image information so as to permit images captured by the digital image information capturing unit to be properly reproduced on the photosensitive material though exposed under standard exposure conditions. With this structure, various inspection processes can be performed efficiently using a single inspection apparatus before printing images on a printing paper through exposure.
