ABSTRACT:
A system and method for generating and codifying cropping and enlargement information for a rectangular photograph utilizes at least one transparent overlay and a grid board for underlying the overlay. The overlay includes markings providing a plurality of rectangular windows arranged about a common center and identification indicia for identifying each window and the enlargement multiple necessary to enlarge the window to a predetermined photo size. The grid board has a flat surface bearing a pair of intersecting lines which divide the surface into four quadrants about the center of the board surface, and one quadrant of the board bears a pattern of markings which provides the one quadrant with a two-coordinate grid and indicia for identifying coordinate locations on the grid. To use the system, the transparent overlay is positioned over the board so that the common center of the windows overlies the center of the board and then the photo is manipulated between the overlay and the board surface until the preselected area of the photo desired to be enlarged is suitably framed by a chosen one of the rectangular windows. By noting the identification indicia corresponding to the chosen window and the location on the board grid overlain by a corner of the photo, one possesses sufficient information to accurately isolate the selected area of the photo at a later time for enlargement purposes.
