lOW, more than ever before, is the time to learn how to add gorgeous color to home movies. By means of simple toning and tinting, drab black and white films may be transformed into sequences of breath-taking beauty. And now is the time to learn these easy steps to more brilliant pictures because of present color film shortage. Not only can color be added to the black and white films you are now shooting but the black and white films shot years ago can also be tinted and toned.
Marine and beach shots made with black and white film last summer or on a vacation ten years ago, will all take on new vividness in rich shades of blue.

In the, picture below at left, predominating color in original scene was green. Tinting it a soft green, therefore, would give it additional brilliance and bring out beauty of trees and foliage.
As this article is intended to cover tinting only (toning and the combined use of both media will be taken up in later articles) , let us begin by examining this process alone. Tinting denotes coloring the support of the film; that is, • Continued on Page 27
