| Abstract: |
An index imaging system includes: a scanner for scanning a plurality of photographic images to produce a corresponding plurality of digital images; a computer connected to the scanner for receiving the digital images and generating a corresponding plurality of thumbnail digital images and containing index imaging software for writing an application program for manipulating the digital images; a printer connected to the computer for receiving the thumbnail digital images and producing an index print; and a floppy disc writer connected to the computer for recording the thumbnail digital images and the application program on a floppy disc. Computer program products carrying thumbnail digital images and optionally particular application programs, are also provided.

What is claimed is:
1. A floppy disc index imaging system comprising:
- a) a scanner for scanning a plurality of photographic images to produce a corresponding plurality of digital images;
- b) a computer connected to the scanner for receiving the digital images and generating a corresponding plurality of thumbnail digital images and containing index imaging software for writing an application program for manipulating the digital images;
- c) a categorization routine that stores a categorization file for thumbnail images on the disc, the categorization routine storing higher resolution digital images and applying a routine that categorizes the thumbnail images within a separate file;
- d) an application routine that applies the categorization routine to thumbnail images within the separate file, application generating an index display from digital image data on the storage medium and finally a reconstruction of the thumbnail images with at least one of the categorizations applied from the separate file;
- e) a printer connected to the computer for producing an index print of the digital images in accordance with the categorization routine as applied by the application routine; and
- f) a floppy disc writer connected to the computer for recording the thumbnail digital images and the application program on a floppy disc.
