Abstract
A photographic system comprising a digital still camera for producing an output signal, means for processing the output signal with a pre-recorded picture signal to produce a revised image signal and means for printing the revised image, wherein the means for processing uses chroma-key processing to insert a background picture signal into a key color-characterized region of a foreground picture signal The invention results in a novel application of chroma-key processing to produce good quality still photographs using a simple and robust system.
