Abstract
This invention provides an image reader which simply fetches a film image as an image of substantially the same size and the same image quality irrespective of issuance of a trimming command. In the image reader, information related to a trimming area can be read from a developed film by use of a magnetic information reading circuit. Further, light is applied to the developed film and image information is read based on light transmitted therethrough by use of an image input circuit. The resolution set when the image input circuit fetches image information from a preset trimming area is determined by a control circuit based on trimming information from the magnetic information reading circuit.
