Abstract

A novel technique and apparatus for enabling a photographer to transmit digital camera images to remote photographic printing and delivery locations by transmitting to a remote computerized photo-finishing station, over the telephone, or otherwise, digital images stored in a digital camera flash memory card and removed therefrom and inserted into a novel microprocessor-controlled appliance adapted to received such card after removal from the camera, enabling the remote station to process and photographically automatically print the images, and deliver them to pre-selected destinations for the photograph.
