Ch. VII] PHOTOGRAPHS IN COLORS 245 



and any one familiar with the ordinary photographic processes can 

 succeed in color photography. It may be said in passing that the 

 pictures taken by this process are transparencies and must be looked 

 at as such to bring out the colors. Furthermore, as colors are truly 

 rendered only in daylight or by artificial daylight these transparencies 

 must be illuminated by natural or artificial daylight for a true render- 

 ing of the color. 



While these pictures cannot be used as negatives to give paper 

 prints in colors, they can be used as colored pictures to get the 

 proper negatives for printing by the three-color process, so that with 

 a good autochrome transparency, colored pictures for books and 

 magazines can be produced without any hand being taken in the 

 process by an artist; and for many things the transparency gives a 

 truth and delicacy in coloring not attainable by the artist's brush.
