Abstract
Abstract In an arrangement in which an image captured by photography is recorded on new-type photographic film having an information recording zone for magnetically recording information relating to the film or frames on the film, information concerning the aspect ratio of the image is exploited in an effective manner and the aspect ratio is capable of being altered at will. The image recorded on the new-type photographic film and the aspect ratio information in the information recording zone are read by a film scanner. Original digital image data obtained by the reading operation, length X and width Y of the image and effective image size data (length A and width B) generated from the aspect ratio information are recorded on a floppy disk or optical disk by a disk device. When an original image represented by the original digital image data obtained from the floppy or optical disk is displayed, the size thereof is made that stipulated by the effective image size. The data representing the effective image size on the disk are rewritten in response to an entered alteration command.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
192 words
A filing system comprising: film reading means for reading, from a developed film having an information recording portion relating to at least a frame, an image of the frame appearing on the film to generate original digital image data representing the image and reading data representing information that has been recorded in the information recording portion; size-data creating means for creating data representing a size of an original image and data representing a size of an effective image on the basis of the original digital image data and the data representing the information obtained by said film reading means; recording means for recording, in mutually correlated form on a portable recording medium, (a) the original digital image data and the data representing the information obtained by said film reading means, and (b) the data representing the size of the original image and the data representing the size of the effective image created by said size-data creating means; and aspect altering means for rewriting the data representing the size of the effective image, which data have been recorded on the recording medium, by new data representing an instruction size for the effective image.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
192 words
A filing system comprising: film reading means for reading, from a developed film having an information recording portion relating to at least a frame, an image of the frame appearing on the film to generate original digital image data representing the image and reading data representing information that has been recorded in the information recording portion; size-data creating means for creating data representing a size of an original image and data representing a size of an effective image on the basis of the original digital image data and the data representing the information obtained by said film reading means; recording means for recording, in mutually correlated form on a portable recording medium, (a) the original digital image data and the data representing the information obtained by said film reading means, and (b) the data representing the size of the original image and the data representing the size of the effective image created by said size-data creating means; and aspect altering means for rewriting the data representing the size of the effective image, which data have been recorded on the recording medium, by new data representing an instruction size for the effective image.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
148 words
A filing system comprising: image reading means for reading an image represented on an input medium and generating original digital image data representing the image; size-data creating means for creating data representing a size of an original image and data representing a size of an effective image using at least the original digital image data obtained by said image reading means; recording means for recording, in mutually correlated form on a portable recording medium, (a) the original digital image data obtained by said image reading means and (b) the data representing the size of the original image and the data representing the size of the effective image created by said size-data creating means; and aspect altering means for rewriting the data representing the size of the effective image, which data have been recorded on the recording medium, by new data representing an instructed size for the effective image.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
148 words
A filing system comprising: image reading means for reading an image represented on an input medium and generating original digital image data representing the image; size-data creating means for creating data representing a size of an original image and data representing a size of an effective image using at least the original digital image data obtained by said image reading means; recording means for recording, in mutually correlated form on a portable recording medium, (a) the original digital image data obtained by said image reading means and (b) the data representing the size of the original image and the data representing the size of the effective image created by said size-data creating means; and aspect altering means for rewriting the data representing the size of the effective image, which data have been recorded on the recording medium, by new data representing an instructed size for the effective image.
