A photo printing system includes a display to display thereon an order screen containing at least one of images corresponding to image data files read out from a recording medium by a reading unit; and an inputting unit to be used for inputting order information containing the number of prints for the image being displayed on the display. A photo print for at least one of one or more images displayed on the display, to each of which order information to request one or more prints has been given, is made before an order for the one or more images to each of which order information to request one or more prints has been given is determined.

Print order accepting apparatus and printing system

An apparatus for reading images of a photographic film disposed on an image reading optical path, with a light source ( ) for emitting visible light and infrared light into the image reading optical path to irradiate the photographic film, and a zoom lens unit ( ) for the visible light and infrared light irradiating the photographic film. A visible light sensor and an infrared light sensor are disposed separately for detecting a visible image based on the visible light from the zoom lens unit, and for detecting an infrared image based on the infrared light from the zoom lens unit, respectively. A focal position varying transparent element (FT) is provided for shifting a focal position of the zoom lens unit along an optical axis. The transparent element is movable to and from a position between the zoom lens unit and infrared light sensor to correct variations in the focal position occurring with variations in magnification of the zoom lens unit.

Photograph processing apparatus

An enlargement lens is moved to a retracted position by driving a lens moving deck, and temporarily transferred onto a lens storing deck. After the lens moving deck is returned to its initial position, the enlargement lens is rotatably supported on support rails and rotated about its rotatable shaft to expose a lens surface to the outside for the cleaning. Accordingly, the enlargement lens can easily be cleaned.
