Abstract

From a photosensitive material F, image data S is obtained together with the density Ds of the unexposed portion of the photosensitive material F. On the basis of this density Ds, the optimum characteristic curve for the photosensitive material F stored in the storing means is modified by modifying means to obtain a modified characteristic curve. In the storing means , a plurality of characteristic curves after the time lapse may be stored, and from these characteristic curves, a modified characteristic curve may be obtained. The modified characteristic curve is inputted to the transforming means , and on the basis of this, the image data S is transformed to provide processed image data S . The processed image data S is reproduced as a print image K by the printing means
