Abstract
A method and apparatus for developing a strip of photosensitive media having image exposure area having an undeveloped exposed portion thereon. The apparatus includes a transport mechanism for moving the photosensitive media along a processing path; and a mechanism positioned along the processing path for selectively applying a coating of the processing solution only on the undeveloped exposed portion of the strip of photosensitive media. The apparatus further includes sensors for determining the location of the undeveloped exposed portion of the image exposure area. A scanner may be provided for scanning the strip of photosensitive media so as to obtain a digital record of the images developed thereon.
