Filed: 1912-08-17
Granted: 1913-07-31
Abstract: 18,900. Whitfield, G. S. Aug. 17. Colour photography; screen processes.-To facilitate the registration of a negative taken through a separable regular pattern screen with a screen positive plate, a design is put on the taking screen, near the margin of the plate, in a colour that will transmit light passing through all the colour elements of the screen except those of one colour, say red. To expose fully the design, the picture area is protected and a supplementary exposure is given to the design area. This is done by replacing the ordinary slide shutter, by a shutter with a slit over the design, or by masking the picture area in the camera. The transparent elements in the developed negative correspond to the red dots of the design. The screen positive plate is coated with slow emulsion only over the picture area. The negative is registered by adjusting it until the design appears in red by transmitted light, using a weak source of light. Printing is subsequently effected in strong light.
