Abstract
The limited ability of an internal memory in a CD player to store user-generated image parameter data is augmented by a storage medium, such as an electrically programmable read only memory module, configured to be removably interfaced with the CD player's microcontroller for storing image parameter data that has been programmed by the user. The module can be then removed from the playback device and inserted into that or another playback device for controlling its operation. The customized image parameter data may include one or more image display parameters including contrast, image magnification, color balance, saturation, border type and border location. It may also store information from which a photofinisher may produce hard copy prints of selected images or an entirely new album disc of user selections taken from multiple discs.
