Description

 The invention relates to methods of manufacturing - photomontage of posters, originals for printing, pages of photo albums, etc. The invention can be used for photomontage of the page of the graduation photo album of students - graduates of educational institutions with the involvement of the creativity of the students and teachers themselves.

Famous photo montage (D.Z. Bunimovich and M.D. Maker. Household and technical photography. - M.: Light Industry, 1966, p. 147), which consists in the following. Photograph each individual subject included in the overall wiring diagram. On a thin matte photo paper, photos are made in the right size. Each photo is cropped to the desired shape. The edges of the photographs are nullified by a fine emery cloth. Then gluing the mounted parts of the image. After the test layout and then the final sticker, the image is retouched and photographed again. With such a photo negatives get the right number of prints through the magnifier. This method of photomontage is called glue or application. This method of obtaining a photo album page is laborious and does not provide high quality, as it requires:
- pre-production photographs of individual items included in the general wiring diagram;
- cutting out photographs of the desired shape and reducing their edges to nothing;
- sticking photos;
- retouching the original layout.

 Also known is a projection photomontage, which gives a ready-made image (V.P. Mikulin. 25 lessons of photography, M .: Art, 1955, p. 288 - 290) and is taken as a prototype of the invention. This photomontage consists of the process of imprinting with a photographic enlarger on a single sheet of photo paper images from several photographic negatives. Since the images in this case are hidden and require development, they first sketch a pencil sketch indicating the location of the components and their scale on it. The order in which images from different photo-negatives are printed on a sheet of photo paper does not matter. They begin, however, with the main part. When printing this part, cover the rest of the photo paper with the hand (or a specially cut out mask) from the rays of the light of the magnifier, slightly moving the hand or mask at a certain distance from the lens and thus reducing the edges of the main image to nothing. Then, closing the lens of the magnifier with a red filter, the outline of the printed image is lightly drawn with a pencil and proceed to printing from the next photo negative, this time covering the finished part of the image from light rays. Reducing the edges of each image makes the junction of individual images invisible.

 This method of obtaining a page of photo albums using modern photo paper is impossible, since it is impossible to reproduce a pencil sketch on modern color photo paper, which is processed in complete darkness.

 The technical result of the invention is the production of a photo album page on modern color photo paper and, in addition, the creation of an individual psychological and emotional portrait of the group through the co-creation of a photographer, students and teachers.

 This result is achieved as follows.

 Each person included in the composition of the photo album page is individually photographed. Photonegatives of photographs of these individuals are made in the usual way. The photo-negative of one person is installed in the photo enlarger normally to its axis. Behind the photo-negative along the light beam at a certain distance, a specially cut mask with a through oval hole in its middle is also normal to the axis of the lens. On the table of the enlarger in the direction of the light beam at some distance from the mask, they put a black wiring diagram template with white ovals in the places where the photographs should be. Include a magnifier. The template is moved around the table until the photo-negative projection of the face included in the composition of the photo album page matches one of the white ovals. By changing the distance from the photo-negative to the template and from the mask to the photo-negative, the edges are blurred and the size of the photo-negative projection coincides with the sizes of the white oval on the template. In this position, the template is fixed. Turn off the enlarger. A sheet of photo paper with the dimensions of the template is placed on the template and fixed. The enlarger is turned on for a predetermined time depending on the sensitivity of the photo paper and the density of the photo negative. Thus, on a sheet of photo paper, photographs of all the faces of the composition of the photo album page are sequentially imprinted using the pre-compiled composition, the carrier of which is a template. After that, a sheet of photo paper with imprinted photographs is developed and dried. On a sheet of photo paper with photographs between the photos, a copy cell, oblique or straight, is applied. Then a sheet of photo paper with photos is outlined and labeled photos. The result is an original layout of the photo album page. Reproduce and make photonegative of the original layout of the photo album page. From the received photo negatives of the original layout of the photo album pages, the pages of photo albums are replicated depending on the number of orders.

Distinctive features of the invention are:
- The use of a black wiring diagram template with white ovals;
- installation of the wiring diagram template on the table of the enlarger along the light beam;
- moving the template until the photo-negative projection of the face of the photo album in the composition of the page matches one of the white ovals of the template;
- imprinting photographs of faces in accordance with the wiring diagram depicted on the template as a composition of white ovals;
- drawing on a sheet of photo paper with photographs of a tetrad cell, which is the background;
- drawing photos and labeling them.

 Photomontage of the photo album page is illustrated by drawings.

 In FIG. 1 shows the relative position of the enlarger, the enlarger lens, the photo negative of the face, mask and template when mounting the photo album page.

 In FIG. 2 presents a drawing of a mask.

 In FIG. 3 is a drawing of a wiring diagram template.

The following notation is introduced in the figures:
1 - photo enlarger;
2 - lens enlarger;
3 - photonegative;
4 - mask;
5 - template.

 Mask 4 (Fig. 1, 2) serves to blur the edges of photographs, and it is made of hard, opaque material, for example, from a sheet of black cardboard with a through oval hole in its middle. The dimensions of the mask should be such as to completely block the beam of light from the enlarger outside the oval hole. The size of the oval hole of the mask should be larger than the size of the photo negative of the photo, but smaller than the required size of the photo on the sheet of photo paper of the original layout of the photo album page.

 Template 5 (Figs. 1, 3) is used to create the intended composition of photographs of persons - a wiring diagram on a sheet of photo paper of the original layout of the photo album page. Template 5 is made of solid sheet material, for example cardboard, covered with black velvet, the dimensions of which are equal to the dimensions of the sheet of photo paper of the original page layout of the photo album. White ovals are made on its surface, creating a conceived composition of photographs of faces of a sheet of photo paper of the original layout of the photo album page. For inscriptions and drawings, free areas are left between the white ovals, for which they are arranged ovals from each other at distances not less than a fifth of the width of the photos in width and not less than a fifth of the height of the photos in length.

 An example of a photomontage of a photo album page.

 Photo montage of the photo album page is as follows. Individually photograph each student and teacher. They make photo-negatives of students and teachers in the usual way. Each photonegative is alternately mounted in a photo enlarger (Fig. 1). Behind the lens along the light beam at a distance of 50 mm from it, also normal to its axis, set mask 4 (Fig. 2) with the axes of the oval hole 50x30 mm. On the table of the enlarger at a distance of 200 mm from the mask 4 lay a template 5 (Fig. 3), with dimensions of 60x40 mm axes of twelve white oval spots. Include a magnifier. Move template 5 until the photo-negative projection coincides with the center of one white oval of template 5. By changing the distance from the photo-negative to the template and mask to the photo-negative, the required blurring sizes of the edges of the photo-negative projection are achieved. In this position, the template 5 is fixed. Turn off the enlarger. A sheet of photo paper with the dimensions of the template is placed on the template 5 and fixed on it. The enlarger 1 is turned on for a predetermined time, depending on the sensitivity of the photo paper and the density of the photo negative. Thus, in accordance with the wiring diagram, photographs of ten students and two teachers are printed on a sheet of photo paper in random order, alternately from photo negative to the same sheet of photo paper, after which a sheet of photo paper with printed photographs is developed and dried. For inscriptions and drawings, white areas are left between the white ovals, for which purpose the ovals are spaced from each other at distances of a width of 15 mm and a height of 20 mm. Put felt-tip pens on the sheet with photos between them and the place for drawing (s), along the line with the help of a stencil, an oblique notebook cell, after which sheet 4 of photo paper with photos is transferred to students and teachers whose photos are presented on sheet 4. Students and teachers draw photos - each one outlines his photograph with meaning and writes good wishes, his first and last name. The result is an original page layout of the graduation photo album. They reproduce it and make a photo-negative of the original page layout of the graduation photo album. From the received photo negative pages of photo albums are replicated, depending on the number of orders. Each sheet of the graduation photo album is glued onto a sheet of thick paper or cardboard.

 Other pages of the final photo album are made in the same way using other templates, after which the output photo album is stitched and intertwined from these sheets in the usual way.
