Master color photography with a practical, field-tested guide you can trust.

This is a clear, hands-on manual that helps you understand how color works and how to reproduce it. It emphasizes practical results, not theory alone, with methods tested in practice and no untried formulas.

This edition lays out the essentials of color creation, from the spectrum to the difference between additive and subtractive methods. It guides you through the practical steps of handling sensitive plates, making color filters, and running the darkroom. You’ll find approachable instructions for a range of color processes and the equipment and techniques that help you achieve reliable results.
What you’ll experience

Step-by-step guidance on cameras, exposures, filters, and the preparation of plates for color work.
Grounded, implementable techniques for several major color processes (such as carbon printing, gum-bichromate, and related methods), with careful attention to cleanliness and mounting.
Tips for producing high-quality lantern slides and other color transparencies, plus practical notes on dye selection and staining.
