You can pretty much do that now. After you've captured you images in the traditiional film manner (print or slide) you can have photo CD scans made of only the ones you want, for about $1.25 - $2.00 depending on quantity, then with the use of a fairly cheap photo printer ($150 or so), some cheap photo manipulation program, you can have very nice digital prints for not much more than the $3.00 @ Walmart.
