CONTROL ARRANGEMENT ADAPTABLE TO ANY KIND OF PROFESSIONAL-SCALE AND/OR AMATEUR-SCALE COLOUR-PHOTOGRAPH DEVELOPMENT AND PRINTING LABORATORY FOR OBTAINING CORRESPONDING DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPHS

摘要

Control arrangement adaptable to any kind of professional-scale and/or amateur-scale colour-photograph development and printing laboratory for obtaining corresponding digital photographs. The arrangement comprises imaging means (24) for the formation of virtual digital images, which are operationally connected with a personal computer (13) and are adapted to receive from the latter the stored negative virtual digital images and to selectively reconstitute the same virtual digital images; a rotating disk (26) provided with colour filters (27, 28, 29) to colour each negative virtual digital image contained in the imaging means (24); piezo-electric actuators co-operating with said imaging means (24) so as to cause said imaging means to displace into such positions as to enable high-definition images to be formed; a moving-type diaphragm or shutter (25) co-operating with said imaging means (24) and movable from a first operational position to a second operational position to respectively bar or enable the passage of the light beam through said imaging means (24) and the colour-filter disk (26), and the resulting projection of the virtual digital images, with mutually overlapping colours, onto the photographic paper (60); as well as control and processing means (CPU 50) operated via at least an associated keyboard (61) and connected to said personal computer (13), said imaging means (24), said rotating disk (26), said piezo-electric actuators, said shutter (25), a lighting arrangement (20) for the illumination of the photographic paper (60) and the other parts composing the photo-finishing equipment of each photographic laboratory.
