At least 28 were made with the Jos-Pe technique, which was invented in Hamburg in 1924 and remained in use for 20 years. This photographic process allowed Jacob Merkelbach to offer his clients a product that was very exclusive in the 1930s: color prints. This dye imbibition process is part of the early history of commercial color photography, as is Kodak’s Dye Transfer prints (1946-1990). Books dedicated to color photography only have sparse information about this specific technique. The fact that the Jos- Pe process was commercialized under several patents makes it even more difficult to find detailed technical information. Unfortunately, none of the patents reveal information relevant to their conservation: the materials used to make them. This research project begun with the characterization and visual examination of Jos-Pe prints on paper and three-color printing screens on glass that are part of the Rijksmuseum’s Merkelbach collection. The scope was soon extended through the study and comparison of these objects with the collection of an Spanish amateur photographer held at the Institut d’Estudis Fotogràfics de Catalunya (IEFC) in Barcelona. This archive includes booklets from the Jos-Pe company, invoices and correspondence, print examples and never used Jos-Pe paper. The Rijksmuseum Jos-Pe prints and plates, as well as (aged) mock-ups were examined and analyzed with different techniques: specular light, UV fluorescence, microscopy, XRF, liquid chromatography UPLC and spectrophotometry. A cross section obtained from an unexposed JosPe paper kept at the IEFC made it possible to determine the prints’ structure: a paper coated with a thin layer of barium sulfate, topped with a thin layer of gelatin. The analyzed glass plates revealed the use of dyes such as Carmine, Induline Blue and Dianil Yellow 2R. Fading tests performed on mock-ups made of the red dye showed a 1-2 Blue Wool Standard lightfastness. The lightfastness of the blue and yellow dyes is the subject of further ongoing research. So far, these findings have provided valuable insight into this early commercial colour photographic technique. The results of this research provide a better way to identify and understand Jos-Pe examples in collections and consequently adjust standards related to their preventive conservation, treatment procedures and display options. Truelight and Film Simulation Richard Kirk FilmLight Truelight was an early FilmLight product that simulated the look of film on a monitor. This allowed graders to preview how their digital images might appear when recorded to film, printed, and projected on a screen. This involved charactering each part of the film-out process 4 as it was in about 2004: the recorder and internegative stock, the print lab and the print stock, and the projector and its lamp spectrum. Truelight provides a snapshot of the whole grading and film out process when film list dominated motion pictures. The tools that Truelight used also allowed us to capture existing film processes, such as bleach bypass, and cross-processing; and also to simulate old processes, such as Kodachrome, and Technicolor. “Ceci n’est pas un Polaroid”. The materials and colours of Paolo Gioli’s works Sandra Maria Petrillo SMP Internaytional Photo Conservation Studio The phrase “Ceci n’est pas un Polaroid” (This is not a Polaroid) is a reference to Magritte’s famous painting “Ceci n’est pas un pipe”, with which the surrealist painter ironically presented the relationship between reality, representation and meaning. Paolo Gioli (born at Sarzano in 1942, currently residing in Lendinara, Veneto region – Italy) brought much the same kind of disruptive energy to the art of photography, which he came to after a training in painting and experimental cinema. In Milan, in the mid-seventies, he started to use the Polaroid not so much as an industrial photographic procedure with a commercial use, but as an extremely versatile expressive means for exploring materials and colours, which can go far beyond the “instant photo” invented by Edwin Land. In an operation that the surrealists would have approved, the artist deconstructs and reinvents the various Polaroid formats and processes for his own creative purposes, using all the constitutive elements of their multiple physical and chemical layers of materials and dyes. He intervenes on every element of the Polaroid process, disassembling the films, paper supports, protective layers, frames and templates made of black paper and metallized plastic, as well as the chemical reagents themselves, manipulating them with his personal artistic gestures, and finally attaching them to the centre of a sheet of drawing paper. The result of this extraordinary kind of modern alchemy is a series of what he defines as “compositions”. These compound images are made of film negatives and photographic paper, or are the result of Polaroid “transfers” onto paper, using the emulsions as a printing matrix. In the darkroom Gioli intervenes on the photosensitive layers of his images, produced by contact or projection. He uses the chemical reagents to create an additional image on the white and semi-transparent weave of pieces of serigraph silk, and then adds them to his compositions next to the photographic positive. Light is an important compositional element

  • Filtering in Software
    article.php Page 1 of 2 Filtering in software Why filter in camera when you can achieve the same results in post? Geoff Boyle takes a look at Tiffen’s DFX Filter Kit to see whether they really match the company’s optical filters. Article first published: July/August 2007 Using the center spot filter. With the infra-red filter. Tiffen has been threatening software that would emulate their filters for a very long time now. It’s been a kind of Holy Grail for DPs who shoot a lot of VFX and blue/green screen work. You want to shoot the main body of the film/commercial with filtration of some kind – I’ve always been partial to light Pro-Mist and/or very light Double Fogs – but you can’t use them on the VFX shots because they’ll bugger up the key. So what do you do? Shoot with the filters except for the VFX shots and trust the guys in post to match the look? Shoot with no filters and trust the guys in post to add the filtered look to the entire production? How do you communicate the look? Do the guys in post know what a Black Pro-Mist 1 looks like? Will they remember to add it? A long time ago, Tiffen started to work on software to emulate its filters, but it would only work on SGI machines and in Autodesk Flame. It required a huge amount of computing grunt and was never released. So imagine my surprise as I wandered around NAB this year and saw a finished domestic product – yes domestic! Not a really expensive piece of pro software, but software that costs between $99 and $499 depending on which version you get.

  • Slides with Speaker Notes (14.8MB PDF)
    Hi. Thanks to Marc for the great introduction, and thanks to everyone in the audience for entrusting me with an hour of their time which could have been spent sleeping in or at Disney World – I hope you won’t regret that choice. 1 First I’ll answer some questions that might be raised by the somewhat ambiguous title. Which echo chamber? Who is doing the learning? 2 One of the echo chambers I’m thinking of is the computer graphics community. Although our field is by its nature extremely cross- disciplinary, I feel we too often focus on incremental improvements in each other’s work. Some of the biggest jumps in our industry have occurred from bringing knowledge and insight from the outside – e.g. the Cook-Torrance model which was adapted from an optics paper. I’ll be talking about some insights I’ve seen from other academic disciplines, though (given my personal experience) these tend to be focused more on practice than theory. (photo copyright 2012 Jason RM Smith, used with permission / Cropped from original) 3 The other echo chamber I have in mind is the game industry. I strongly feel that people in my industry – and in this talk I’m focusing primarily on people who work on the technical and creative sides of creating game visuals – would benefit from looking outside our industry for inspiration. (photo from “GSC12 SF Signage” album by Flickr user “Official GDC”, used under CC-BY-2.0 / Cropped from original) 4 One discipline I think computer graphics should learn more from is imaging science, which focuses on the problem of image acquisition and reproduction.
