Abstract

An electronic image processing system includes a scanner in which a light source is provided to illuminate an image captured on a film. A charge-coupled device produces digital data defining a multiplicity of picture elements which together represent the image. A look up table converts the data from the CCD into a format suitable for processing by a processor which data is stored in a framestore. The data in the framestore is read and processed by the processor and output for display of the image on a monitor. Characteristics or attributes of the displayed image are adjusted by the processor in response to user manipulation of a stylus and touch tablet device. Once the user is satisfied with the image as displayed the adjustment is used to alter the manner in which the scanner and look up table operate so that a further scanning of the image will provide data in the framestore representing the image with characteristics or attributes similar to those in the previously displayed image.
