Abstract

An apparatus for printing images recorded on photosensitive film to a printing paper is disclosed. The apparatus exposes the image, displays the image on a monitor before printing, and adjusts the image to be printed. A reference image is read by a scanner to obtain a digital image data, a predetermined number of digital pixel data for each color of the gray component from the digital image data are extracted, and, on the basis of a predetermined number of the extracted digital pixel data for each color of the gray component, the monitor is adjusted according to a predetermined quantitative condition for substantially equalizing the appearance of the image on the monitor and an image to be printed. Accordingly, the variations due to different sensary perceptions among operators are eliminated and quick adjustment is enabled.
