But just what is the color of her hair if a photographer must print it in color? Color prints sensitive to light By. GILBERT HILL The rapid growth in color printing has created a whole new set of photographic prob- lems _ and opportunities - largely revolving around the way different people see color under varying conditions. Anyone who has ever carried a piece of cloth out of the store into daylight to "find out what color it really is" recognizes the photographic problem. There is, of course, a natural tendency to compare 'color prints with color slides - because slides have been around longer, and we are more familiar with them. But color slides can be seen best only under nearly ideal conditions. The room is darkened. The slides are projected with a lamp which By A. C.

And most screens are balanced - nearly white - so that colors do appear to be "natural," remarkably ac- curate in fact, considering the photographic process. But color prints are "reflec- tive" materials, which must take on the color of light which strikes it - and it is amazing to anyone not aware of it, how "warm" or yellow the light is from even a good ordinary light bulb, when compared with fluorescent, or daylight. So, it is easy for a picture to be "too yellow," or "too blue," or "too red, or orange" if the light falling upon it is not the same as that used by the photographer in "evaluating" his- work before delivering it to a cuktomer, or sending it off to an exhibition. Combine this with the known fact that many people "see" color differently than - others, even though there is no sign of color blindness, and the situation becomes more complicated, Now, it is perfectly possible fora color print maker to change the "color balance" of his final picture.-- through the use of printing filters - to produce a print that is very close to "natural" when seen under the same light by some- one who sees color the way he does. This is in addition to the controls a monochrome print- er has of making his print lighter or darker, or darken- ing, or brightening up just a part of a picture by manipula- tion of the light under the en- larging light. So, what should the photog- rapher do? Perhaps there is a tip in the Eastman Kodak Co. instructions for retouching color prints which recom- mends that the work be done under a combination of an or- dinary tungsten (75 -watt) bulb and a "deluxe cool white" fluorescent which tends to make a picture ap- pear blue. The theory is that the artist applying dyes and other colors to a print can judge it under such a light so that "it will appear acceptable" un- der both tungsten and fluorescent lighting. But anyone displaying a color print should be warned that the ultra violet light in a fluorescent bulb can be ex- pected to fade the colors in a picture just as quickly as they'll fade the dyes in a car- pet, draperies or upholstery. So beware! • • • • • • • • • • • • • • CHESS TIME Diversity marks game's images By JOSEPH MILL BROWN A. fasc-inating aspect of chess is the diversity of im- ages in the game. After all, battles fought with brains in- stead of fists and guns, are bound to present a collection of portraits as colorful as a Balzac anthology. Brazil's Henrique Mecking, for instance, who lost to Vic- tor Korchnoi in the Candi- dates Matches at Augusta, Ga./ An ex -child prodigy whose cantankerous behavior reminds everyone of :you - know -who, Mecking has be- come so popular in Brazil, there was talk for a while of staging his matches in a soc- cer stadium. It figured. On the other hand, there is the image of the great big happy family, as featured in the 1974 Students' Chess Olympiad at Teesside, Eng- land. The team from Hong Kong consisted of the brothers Jhunjhunwala - five of them, whose ages ranged from 8 to 18. They finished near the bot- tom, ahead only of Japan and Iraq, so they will certainly be no model for Mecking, the Leo Durocher of chess. A not uncommon image is that of Hamlet, best exempli- fied by, grandmaster Pal Benko, who is notorious for ••••i••••••••• �e�ie �a7�Z �de7as� • • • • • • • • • • • • • • RR 5, Wingham, Ont, Dear Sir : The letter of Mr. Brickman in - "Crossroads", Nov. 14, prompted me to write. Please, Mr. Brickman, we have come quite a way in practising love, understanding and working together. All the clergy have, and are still working hard for unity and putting into practice God's first law - "Love one another". We are trying hard to forget what is contained in the black pages of the history of any church. In defence of the news media I'd like to say, from what I have seen, they are very impar- tial. I am .sure they wi l print any worthwhile celebrdti n of any church if asked to do so and pro- viding, of course, it does not cause or create any division. I will pray for you, Mr. Brick - man, so you will join all the people that want to be "One in D 0••••.0••••0••• God". Since we are on the subject of religion, I'd like to add the following proposal on schooling. , What I would like to see is one central school in any designated area, with religion taught as a . subject, by the clergy, whereby the pupils have a choice to be - instructed in the faith of their favor. - A class, teaching moral and ethical values should be created to cover anyone, not wanting religious instruction. We_wsuld end up with a better world, because everyone would have been taught what is right or syrong,. Andiook at the savings. Fewer schools and buses, and most im- portant, we would be working and learning closer together. Thank you Sincerely A. Keet fighting the clock in almost every gaime. The 46 -year -cid Benko is ta recent b and and father, but at 36 he wrote: "1 have often been asked why I have never monied. IVIS, diffi- culty if f i- culty is making decisions, and my tendency always to delay making them has played the main role. While 1 am in the midst of contemplating mar- riage ... is it possible that I am already in time pres- ,sure?" Some years ago London newspaper asked :its readers to submit pithy descriptions of chess. One of them accused the game of being "the sport of mathematicians, the image of war with none of its guilt and not even one per cent of its danger." - Yes and no. The Soviet vet- eran Alexander Kotov tends to explain technique in engi- neering jargon. "Study statics the effect of forces on a body of rest, and dynamics - the Same phenomena in mo - hon." Then "consider how to think about the moves from the static point of view, and then later from the dynamic." But Charles Dickens had a more- romantic point of view. Surprisingly (or not so sur- prisingly), he may well have been the 19th Century's most ,stalwart male advocate of women's liberation. Seventy years ago a Balti- more newspaper interviewed Ms. Victoria Tregear, who first met Dickens when she was a child and years later played chess with him. They were even in skill, she re- called, but when she - won Dickens always became an- noyed and demanded another game. One time their game was a draw. "Well, why not?" grumbled the novelist. "Mary and wom- an represent an equation after all. Discriminate as you will in favor of either, they are - when their mutual traits come to be considered - equals. "Yes," continued Dickens, "the woman who grows up with the idea that she is sim- ply to be an amiable anllntal, to be caressed- and coaxed, is invariably a bitterly disap- pointed woman. A game of chess will cure such conceit for ever. "The woman that knows the most, thinks the most, feels the most, is the most. Intel- lectual affection is the only lasting love. I ve that has 6.
