2077659 9212593 PCTABS00014 An imagery data and text formatting mechanism for an image processing system in which a color photographic image on a color slide is digitally encoded and stored in bit map format on a compact disc. Photographic image-representative digital data stored on the disc is readable to cause the generation of the image by an output device. When text is to be inserted into the image, an ASCII file, separate from the bit map formatted photographic image file, is incorporated into that part of the data base where control information is stored. The ASCII file contains a font descriptor and an identifier of where within the bit map the text is to be inserted. When imagery data stored on the disc is to be read out, for example, supplied to a high resolution thermal printer, a text-representative bit map file is generated in accordance with the contents of the ASCII file and combined with the bit map data file for the photographic scene image. Because the text is separate from the scene data, applying an image modifying operator to the scene will not corrupt the text or cause artifacts to be introduced into the scene as would occur with bit map text.
