Thirty The INTERNATIONAL PHOTOGRAPHER August, 1929 Illustrating ^Multicolor w, .HE present multicolor process is a subtractive two-color method of color photography. All methods of color photography are divided into two classifications and two only, namely, "additive and subtractive. In additive processes the colors on the screen are obtained by the addition of a varied colored revolving disc. In subtractive processes the colors are visible on the film itself and require no additional means for projection. The multicolor process comes under the second classification. The camera used for recording the multicolor negatives is a standard Bell Howell or Mitchell. The only added requirement to a standard camera is a special multicolor magazine which accommodates the multicolor negatives. Two negatives run through the camera at the same time with their emulsion surfaces adjacent to each other. Referring to Illustration No. 1, the method of obtaining color value negatives by the multicolor process is illustrated as follows: "A"-"B" represents the front of the two negatives, and "C" the second negative. "A" is a negative which is sensitive BY T. CRESPINELL, Technical Advisor for Multicolo FIG. 1 A B C LENS to the green-blue end of the spectrum.

The color of this dye is orange-red and is equivalent in its photographic use to a Wratten filter No. 23A.
