A method of tracking digital images includes inputting data identifying a subject of an image into a camera, acquiring an image with the camera, and storing the image and the inputted data, as metadata, in an image file when the image is acquired. The method can be implemented using a scanner, a digital camera, and a data processor. The scanner obtains the identifying data and transmits the data to the camera. The camera obtains digital images and embeds the data into digital image files encoding the digital images. The identifying data has a format different from any of the formats processable by the digital camera. The data processor converts the format of the identifying data to one of the plurality of formats processable by the digital camera loads the converted information into the digital camera as metadata.

A video photography system includes a video camera system and a background lighting system. The video camera system is configured to capture photographs of a subject positioned between the video camera system and a background. The background lighting system is configured to generate background lighting conditions on the background. The background lighting conditions include at least a first lighting condition and a second lighting condition.

Video photography system

A photographic processing system in which subject and other data is stored in a database and such data is automatically linked to photographs taken using either a film or digital camera.

Photography system to organize digital photographs and information regarding the subjects therein

A photographic processing system to organize one or more digital photographs and information regarding the subjects being photographed. The system includes a camera to capture digital images of one or more subjects, a user input to receive data related to the one or more subjects who are being photographed, and a database to link the photographs with the data related to the respective subjects.

A photographic processing system is disclosed in which subject and other data is stored in a database and such data is automatically linked to photographs taken using either a film or digital camera.

Photography system

A photographic processing system is provided that is capable of storing subject and other data in a database and automatically linking such data to photographs as they are taken using either a film or digital camera.

Methods for linking photographs to data related to the subjects of the photographs

A customer conversion system connects existing, conventional sensors to a point of sale computer or other computer. Entries by people into a retail space so equipped are counted and recorded on a continuous or on a periodic interval basis.

Customer conversion system

An apparatus for controlling a camera to achieve sharp, clear pictures includes a sensor for determining the distance of the camera from a subject and a controller for calculating the camera's depth-of-field, determining whether the subject is within the depth-of-field, and generating various signals which are provided to control operation of the camera or convey pertinent information to the photographer.

Depth-of-field indicator for a camera

A portraiture printer system receives portrait film which carries portrait images provided by a portraiture camera. A frame grabber receives portrait images carried on the film and converts them into digitized images. An edit station processes the digitized images. The edit station manipulates the sequence of the images and their composition. A printer receives the digitized images and prints the digitized images on an image recording medium.
