To avoid the defect in an electronic image by automating image pickup of an electronic image from a photo original obtained by a development processing means without manual setting of the original onto other image pickup device so as to prevent the dispersion of the curling of photo originals.

When a color negative film is extracted from a cartridge, the color negative film is cut off at its tail end and only the cartridge remains. The color negative film with a leader tape released from the cartridge is fed at a prescribed carrying speed to a development processing tank 01A, a bleach processing tank 01B, a 1st fixing processing tank 01C, a 2nd fixing processing tank 01D, a 1st water rinse tank 01E, a 2nd water rinse tank 01F, a 3rd water rinse tank 01G and a drier section 01H for a development processing section PM consisting of four baths, that is, a development processing bath, a bleach bath, a fixing processing bath, a water rinse bath, in this order and subjected to development processing, the resulting film passes through a tension generation preventing section 013, picked up by an image pickup section 110, and discharged to a discharge box 015.
