Filed: 1919-10-14
Abstract: 143,180. Natural Color Pictures Co., (Assignees of Fox, W. F.). May 12, 1919, [Convention date]. Colour photography; toning.-In a colour process, applicable for kinematography, the two negatives taken through two filters are printed in register on opposite sides of a transparent film. Both sides of the film are first toned to a colour corresponding to the colour filtered by one of the taking filters, and subsequently the positive from the negative taken through the other filter is modified in colour by a second toning bath applied only to this positive. For example, where red and green filters are used the positive film is toned red by a uranium toning solution containing uranium nitrate, acetic acid, and potassium ferrocyanide, and the tone of the print from the negative taken through the red filter is then altered to blue-green by a solution containing ferric ammonium oxalate and hydrochloric acid. This selective alteration of tone may be done by waterproofing the side not to be altered and passing the film through a toning bath, or by applying the second solution by a rolling or brushing device.
