The black content is used for brightness, darkness, and grays. This type of color definition is most common in television and electronic imaging. It can achieve the same results as CMYK however it often uses a process of substracting color rather than adding color to achieve a new color. For the printing of album covers and CD liner notes, a pantone four color CMYK process is generally used in combination with a fine screen. To insure ease of use, slides rather than prints are preferred as it is easier to handle the images and ready them for printing.
Slides also offer higher quality due to their reduced grain .
Common Image Problems and Solutions One of the most common areas frequently overlooked in band photographs is a quality contrasting background. Band members with dark hair and dark jackets when photographed against a dark background generally appear only as a face and maybe a white shirt. The rest is usually black on black and doesn't show up. In color photographs, the same thing often occurs where a person with auburn hair is photographed against a natural wood background resulting in a face surrounded by brown. One must be aware of fair haired people against a light sky and other situations which can ruin an otherwise great shot.
