Abstract
A method and system that handle user and producer photofinishing customization data for a film unit having a unique identifier. In the method, a user access code is generated. A logical memory unit is allocated to the film unit. The logical memory unit is remote from the film unit. The logical memory unit indicates the identifier. The logical memory unit has a user subunit and a producer subunit. The subunits are each independently writable and have separate access rights. The user access code, but not the producer access code, accompanies the film unit when it is sold or otherwise transferred.
