Abstract
A high spatial and dynamic resolution color image recording system and method for computer generated displays includes a low cost personal computer having a low resolution display monitor adapter and a photographic image recorder coupled to receive low resolution fields of a video image in intensity dependent time varying steps to produce a high resolution composite image. Spatial resolution is improved by providing a separate image for each primary color component as a plurality of interlaced fields. High dynamic resolution is attached for each field by generating each field on a single intensity monochrome raster scan display and exposing the image of a field through a primary color filter in a plurality of intensity dependent steps with the total exposure time for each different color intensity being proportional to the intensity thereof. A gamma compensation is utilized to compensate for the particular optical characteristics of the display, filter and photographic film.
