Abstract
A process for making changes on photoprint film by placing a red coloring mask over spots on a film to be corrected, and with the mask being impenetrable by short wave length light. Next, photographically projecting the film so that the colored spots are not projected, and then photographically projecting another film, with the corrections thereon, and projecting it on the firstmentioned film, all so that the final film is a corrected film accomplished through the use of placing a red coloring mask to prevent projecting of portions of the film to be corrected.
Claims5
In a process for photographically changing positive film material having indicia thereon and employed in photoprinting, the steps of first photographically projecting only certain portions of a first film onto certain portions of a photographically unexposed blank area in the remaining unprojected portion of said second film, thereafter photographically projecting a third film onto said blank area of said second film, and developing said double exposed second film, the improvement comprising the steps of identifying an area of the indicia to be changed on said first film and covering said area with a red color mask impenetrable to a photographic exposure short wave length light while leaving the covered indicia visible, photographically projecting said first film onto said second film to have said red colored area of said first film leave said blank area on said second film, making said third photographic film with a photographic light-penetrable section thereon having new indicia to be substituted for said area to be changed on said first film, said section being of a size larger than the size of said area covered with said red color mask to extend fully beyond the boundaries of said covered area, visually aligning on a viewing screen said third film in an alignment for photographically projecting onto said second film to match the projection position of said first film onto said second film to thereby fully cover said blank area of said second film with said light-penetrable section of said third film by positioning said third film onto said first film in the projecting position in which the second film had been photographically exposed relative to said first film, photographically exposing only said third film onto said second film to have said new indicia of said third film exposed in said blank area of said second film to thereby produce said second film with a composite of said first film and said third film.
