T^rom the make-up artist’s viewpoint, virtually all of the many successive advances in emulsion-making which have occurred since the first panchromatic film came into use some twelve years ago have affected the film’s sensitivity to red. The first panchromatic emulsions, of course revolutionized both photography and make-up in that they could “see” red. to which all previous emulsions had been blind. And each successive film improvement — of whatever manufacture — has gone a step or two farther in that direction. In some instances, the film might be sensitive to more of the red region of the spectrum (as is the case, for instance, with Agfa’s Infra-Red emulsion) ; in other instances, the change has not been so much in the extent of the film’s sensitivity in the red. but in the degree of that sensitivity — that is in plain English, its speed to red light. When the earliest of the superpan-type emulsions were introduced, spectrograms showed that while their average sensitivity did not extend quite so far into the red as that of the types they supplanted, they
