Abstract
Abstract Film image processing equipment enables, before printing, exposure conditions to be changed in order to produce authentic color reproductions. Each film has a particular color characteristic or bias which can be cancelled to produce authentic color reproductions. The film characteristic is detected statistically and is used as part of the change required to the exposure conditions to produce authentic reproduction.
