Abstract
The present invention relates to a photographic printing apparatus and method in which an image is printed on the front of a print paper and a respective frame number is printed on the back of the print paper at a predetermined position for a plurality of frames of a negative film. The present invention accounts for situations in which the frame number fails to be retrieved from location data existing on the negative film. This is achieved by examining and computing information for a group of data assigned before and after the particular frame in question.
