Abstract
In an exposure control method for photographic printing, average transmitted light from an original on an photographic film is color-separated, and an average photometric value for each color is obtained by measuring each color-separated light. A tentative exposure amount is determined based on the average photometric value. A color dominancy in the original image is evaluated by an analysis of image information which is obtained through a color-separated scanning of the original image, and the tentative exposure amount is corrected based on an evaluation result.
