Color Photography Explained 5 



In this picture the green and blue-violet separations, last 

 shown, are here superimposed in their complementary pink and 

 yellow. It is possible to gain the same effect by recomposing the orig- 

 inal colors of the separation, but for several reasons this is not the 

 most practical method of operation. One reason is that the separa- 

 tions such as the last three shown are really negatives and 

 by printing the negative in the complementary color the 

 result is theoretically the same as would be gained 

 by printing a positive in the original color.
