Definitions

  • the gamma value may depend upon the moisture content o'f the material at the moment of exposure.
  • exclusive rights have been claimed for a method of controlling the gradation of avphotographic contrast, in which this phenomenon is utilized.
  • the gamma value of the contrast may also'vary according as the intensity and'duration of the eX- posure vary, notably if the material has an increased moisture content.
  • the gradation of a material having a gamma value dependent upon the moisture content is confv trolled by varying the intensity and duration of the exposure, particularly with an increased moisture content of the material.
  • the intensity of exposure is to be understood to mean the flux per cm.2 of the photo-chemically active light falling on ,the sensitized material.
  • that intensity and duration should be compared which, under the conditions used in regard to blackening and so on. yield the samerblackening, for instance a blackening exceeding the fog-byr0.05.
  • A-material having va gamma value dependent upon the moisturecontent is to be understood to mean a material with which a variation ofthe moisture content, under otherwise the same con# ditions, is capable of bringing about at least'a variation of the ratio 1: 1.2 in the'gradient of that part of the characteristic blackening curve having blackenings of from 0.4 to 1.5. For comparison tests this gradient should naturally be measured at the same blackenings.
  • the method according to the invention permits of being very effectively combined with the afore-ln said method consisting in varying the moisture content of the material at, the moment ofyex ⁇ posure.
  • Photographic ma- .terial of the aforesaid kind which consists ot a. transparent. suppone for example regenerated cellulose treatedl with ⁇ a ⁇ sensitized diazonium comand' a mercurous salt, and is physically developed, afterthe: exposure, permits of manufacturing, for examp1e soundlmcopies having an imageof low gamma, value and a sound record of highv gamma value.
  • the image band and the, sound record are copied, at a dverent exposure intensity and duration.
  • the development of the exposed copy is ⁇ preferably effected in one; operation; in spite' thereof, di-flierent,gradations are obtained for the image part and the sound part. oi'.A the copy. Copies thus obtained. are cheap and of excellent quality.

  • Elmthermore theinvention. o n copying' a pic.- torial llnl permitsof obtaining d-iierent; gradations for succeeding seriesV of images.
  • the gradationdesired for each scene may be obtained by providing for suitable exposure conditions von copying.. This is of particular importance.- for the manufacture of copies of filmreports, such as nlm, news-reels.

  • a very important factor is the moisture content of the support. As stated thinzsare even such that in, the case ot a constant exposure intensity a variation of the moisture content permits the gamma to be controlled. Consequently, for the obtainment of reproducible results, a reproducible adjustment of the moisture content is of much importance.
  • a very reliable control of the moisture content is ensured by bringing the material in equilibrium with an atmosphere of suitable relative humidity, which may be effected byl leaving the material for a suiiiciently long time,A alm bandi of regenerated cellulose for example for 24. hours in such an atmosphere.
  • the material should be in a state of equilibrium with respect 'tor moisture content. It is suiilcient that the moisture content has the value required in regard to the desired gradation, in the zone. of the? material where the photo-chemical conversion takes piace. This permits al much quicker adjustment offthe moisture content than in the case of waitingtor the. state of equilibrium. llt. ⁇ for. example, an in.- creased moisture content is desired, the.- moisture content of the photo-chemicallyactive part of the material. is, adapted tobe adjusted to the desired. value ina very short time by treating the sensitized. material with water and by ⁇ drying it slightly or conversely by introducing dry material into a moist atmosphere., Itis to.
  • the moisture content. of the material at the moment of exposure is vital. Ithas beentound.- that in this manner a. reliable and. reproducible con.- trol, of the gamma. value isv readily possible.
  • the gammav value. obtained does not depend upon variations of themoisture eontentafter exposure.
  • the material which contains theflight-sensi.- tive compound is capable ot absorbing moisture. Excellent results are obtained by means. of regenerated cellulose.
  • The. support1 as. a whole is not required to be capable. of absorbing moistmte, it. being suiiicient that the part of thev support containing the photo-chemically active compound is capableof absorbing water.
  • Very suitable is, for example, a superiicially saponied cellulose, acetate or a support sensitive or not sensitive to moistureY which carries. a Water-absorbing layer, for example, gelatine. or another albumin or albuminous product containing. the light sensitive compound.
