Finlay, Thames, Dufay, and Paget color screen process collections: Using digital registration of viewing screens to reveal original color
Original language description
We discuss digitization, subsequent digital analysis and processing of negatives (and diapositives) made by Finlay, Thames, Dufay, Paget, and similar additive color screen processes.These early color processes (introduced in the 1890s and popular until the 1950s) used a special color screen filter and a monochromatic negative. Due to poor stability of dyes used to produce color screens many of the photographs appear faded; others exist only in the form of (monochromatic) negatives. We discuss the possibility of digitally reconstructing the original color from scans of original negatives or by virtue of infrared imaging of original transparencies (which eliminates the physically coupled color filters) and digitally recreating the original color filter pattern using a new open-source software tool.Photographs taken using additive color screen processes are some of the very earliest color images of our shared cultural heritage. They depict people, places, and events for which there are no other surviving color images. We hope that our new software tool can bring these images back to life.
