INTRODUCTION
ACKNOWLEDGMENT would be a more fitting heading than the word Introduction. Acknowledgment is due to many men and to many companies for material and illustrations used in the production of this book. So many sources have been consulted for information that it is probable that the editor, whose work of annotating and correlating for this book has extended over a period of so many months of a busy life filled with writing, directing, taking pictures, teaching and many other activities, may perhaps have missed giving credit where credit is due.

Photographic Solutions and The Tinting and Toning of Motion Picture Positives are contributed in their entirety by J. I. Crabtree, of the Research Laboratories of the Eastman Kodak Company.
For the chapter on Composition, the editor is indebted to J. C. Warburg.
