In the latter case, the increase in size of the object imaged,, an increase allowed by the altered proportions of the frame, still further increases the apparent sharpness of the picture. This effect can not be ignored, particularly in color photography, where there is a certain inherent lack of definition that this application of the anamorphoser will overcome, and without interfering with the technic of the color process.
