In many cases, two back lights, one at each side, placed so that the beams cross, may be used to good effect, provided that other illumination is strong enough to kill the shadows which might otherwise be cast by the back lights. They will add life and sparkle to the principal subjects and separate them from the background. General back lighting may be said to be one of the essential factors of successful motion picture lighting. However, it is not to be confused with another type of illumination, spot back lighting, which will give a pronounced halo to the subject. This type of concentrated back light should be restricted to the closeup or semi closeups.

The paper can be had with a waterproof base so that the entire operation takes only about ten minutes. The manufacturers of the paper can give full instructions for its processing.
