The colour print Dye Transfer begins in the middle of the forties, distributed by Kodak. |
|
A system basically founded on the skilfulness to manipulate the black and white separation negatives exposed through filters Red 29, Green 61, Blue 47.
|
The use of the densitometer and of the graph paper was necessary in order to check
the tonal range.
|
|
Each separation negative was projected on the positive matrices with gelatin in relief that were immersed in the colour and then spread on paper in the CMY sequence.
|
Practically a three-colour process that had endless possibilities of interpretation offering fantastic results. |
|
The system was defined “Time Consuming”. True.
|
|
Still today a dye transfer print stands out for the quality and the deepness of the colour.
