Abstract:
A method for manufacturing photographic pictures from an image original, the method comprising the steps of:dividing said original in a digital projection arrangement into a matrix arrangement consisting of rows and columns of partial image originals with lateral edges of said partial image originals being parallel to the columns of the matrix arrangement;producing a linear arrangement of sequential latent partial pictures from the individual partial image originals on a copy material by a printer using sequential projection, said projection resulting in lateral edges of the latent partial pictures corresponding to the lateral edges of the partial image originals extending parallel to a longitudinal direction of the linear arrangement of the latent partial pictures; anddeveloping an exposed copy material in a pass-through developing arrangement wherein a partial picture copy is generated from each partial image original and the partial image copies are assembled to a compound picture, wherein latent partial images corresponding to the partial image originals in each of a plurality of alternating columns of the matrix arrangement are guided through the pass-through developing arrangement rotated by 180.degree..
