A digital photography system includes a digital camera and a digital printer. The digital camera includes an image display and the digital printer includes user interface controls to control the images displayed on the camera and to select images to be printed.

Printing system and method having a digital printer that uses a digital camera image display

A digital printer is operationally associated with a digital storage medium interface and a graphic user interface to display and select images stored on the digital storage medium for local or remote printing. The graphical user interface includes user controls and an image display for displaying the images for printing. The graphical user interface enables a user to select, from, for example, a removable memory having images stored thereon, a subset of images to be printed. The graphical user interface is further adapted to permit communication via a network to a fulfillment center to enable remote printing and/or request photo products.

A camera, method, and system provide downloaded electronic images that have metadata identifying individual images previously excluded, within the camera, from first in-first out overwriting. In the method, a first plurality of electronic images are captured in the camera and the camera memory is filled to capacity. A second plurality of electronic images are then captured in the camera. Individual tags are selectively assigned to one or more of the electronic images. During the capturing of the second plurality of electronic images, untagged images are replaced in the memory on a first in-first out basis and tagged images are retained in the memory. The tagged and untagged electronic images are downloaded together to provide a set of downloaded images external to the camera. The downloaded images corresponding to the tagged electronic images have retained tags.

Black-and-white elements, such as radiographic films, can be processed in roomlight because they include certain light absorbing dyes and desensitizers. Processing of such elements can be achieved using a processing kit and a two-stage process carried out in the same light- and fluid-tight processing apparatus. In the first stage, development is initiated with a developing composition having a pH of from about 10 to about 12.5, and comprising an appropriate black-and-white developing agent and a sulfite. After an appropriate time, a non-sulfite fixing agent is introduced into the processing apparatus or container to provide a combined developing/fixing composition, and development and fixing are carried out simultaneously. The processing method is carried out quickly, usually within about 90 seconds. The presence of sulfite and high pH in both stages decolorizes or deactivates the particulate dyes. The processing kit includes the photographic element, a first vessel containing a developing composition, a second vessel containing fixing composition, and a hand-held container for holding one or more exposed photographic elements. The container has a manually actuated assembly for creating a vacuum within said container in order to draw developing and fixing compositions into said container to contact and develop the exposed photographic element.
