Abstract
A photographic printing method and apparatus for producing photo prints from a plurality of separated negative film pieces of a negative film. The present invention enables efficient printing operation by allowing an operator of the photographic printing apparatus to subject all of the negative film pieces of the negative film, as a whole, to a data reading operation, a print determining operation, and a printing operation. Thus, the present invention eliminates delay times that exist when negative film pieces are individually subjected to the data reading, print condition determining, and printing operations.
