Judging Negative Exposure, Printing Negatives

KODAK ROYAL GOLD 25 Film

JUDGING NEGATIVE EXPOSURE

You can check the exposure level with a suitable electronic densitometer equipped with a filter such as a KODAK WRATTEN Gelatin Filter No. 92 or the red filter for Status M densitometry. Depending on the subject and the light source used for exposure, a normally exposed and processed color negative measured through the red filter should have the approximate densities listed below.

	Area Measured	Density
	Area Measured	Reading
		Reading

	The KODAK Gray Card (gray side), receiving	0.75 to 0.95
	the same illumination as the subject	0.75 to 0.95
	the same illumination as the subject

	The lightest step (darkest in negative) of a
	KODAK Paper Gray Scale receiving the	1.10 to 1.30
	same illumination as the subject

	The highest diffuse density on a normally
	lighted forehead
	—light complexion	1.00 to 1.30
	—dark complexion	0.85 to 1.20

Because of the extreme range in skin color, use these red density values for a normally lighted forehead only as a guide. For best results, use a KODAK Gray Card (gray side).

PRINTING NEGATIVES

You can make color prints from negatives by enlarging them on KODAK EKTACOLOR Papers or KODAK DURAFLEX® RA Print Material.

Make color transparencies by direct exposure onto KODAK VERICOLOR Print Film, KODAK VERICOLOR Slide Film, or KODAK DURATRANS® RA or KODAK DURACLEAR™ RA Display Material.

Make black-and-white prints on KODAK PANALURE Papers for conventional black-and-white processing, or KODAK EKTAMAX RA Professional Papers for Process RA-4.
