- Recently, I have noticed an add presenting the new product of an
- English company called Colour .. (Something, do not remember for now).
- This company offers a product called Auto-Mask (tm) consisting in a
- piece of plate glass. In order to make a mask, you press the plate on
- a slide and make a kind of contact print with an intense light source
- that should contain high energy in the blue part of its spectrum. You
- do not need to develop the glass since it is said that the glass is
- light sensitive. So, maybe after a while of exposure, the glass takes
- locally on a neutral tint according to the slide density. I suppose
- that once the glass has been exposed, you could make a Ciba print of
- the sandwich constituted by the slide and the glass plate (in perfect
- matching since it was not necessary to separate them in order to
- develop the mask). The plate can be reused by warning it.
-
- I do not know very much about this product because the small article
- in which it was presented said nothing more except that the produced
- mask is fuzzy enough. This product is only available for large format
- and has been developped for professionnal labs.
-
- I have this article in the december issue ot the famous french
- magazine "Chasseur d'Images". They said they will soon test this
- product.
-
- Has anyone on the net already heard about this product ? Has anyone
- already tested it ?
