Abstract:
A process for output of electronic imaging signals on a light-sensitive recording material (29) in a photographic copying apparatus (2) adapted for copying an image master (49) of a photographic film (24) on light-sensitive recording material (29), comprising the steps of(a) controlling a transmissive display element (26) by the imaging signals;(b) passing a beam of light from a light source (31) first through an objective (21) and then through the display element (26) in the direction of the light-sensitive recording material (29);(c) upon obtaining the image output, positioning the display element (26) adjacent to the recording material (29) that a sharp image is produced on the recording material (29), without necessitating positioning an optical focusing means between the display element (26) and the recording material (29);(d) upon obtaining the imaging signals output, movably positioning the display element (26) in the same optical beam path in which an image master (49) is also positioned during the copying operation of the image master;wherein the electronic imaging signals includes image information comprised in the image master (49) that can be copied with the photographic copying apparatus (2), and using the light source (31) to irradiate the image master (49) in the direction of the light-sensitive recording material (29).
