The attached images were made using a unmodified Graphic 22 on a Super Speed Graphic. Film is TMY 2 processed in HC110 dilution H at 68 degrees. Scanned on an Epson flatbed at 3200dpi, resized in CS2 to 150dpi and canvas adjusted for merging in channels. The color merge has a saturation boost. The alignment is based on the center of the blossom. You are free to copy and play with them in your image editing program if you wish.

B&W


Red channel


Green channel


Blue channel


Merged color

Charles, are those scans of three b/w shots or three scans of the same frame?

1. B&W: total B&W shot and scan
2. Red channel: B&W shot with a #25 red filter, 16 bit grayscale scan.
3. Green channel: B&W shot with a X1 green filter, 16 bit grayscale scan.
4. Blue channel: B&W shot with a Kodak 5400K blue filter, 16 grayscale scan.
5. Tri color merger of RGB images above. The B&W is for reference.

Tripod mounted camera, probably my 100mm WFE with the filter(s) held in front of the lens.

4 scans total, 3 combined to make the 5th image. 3 copies of the same image will give a B&W composite.

Thanks for the explanation.

So you're doing trichromy. Are you acquainted with what Henri Gaud has been doing along those lines?

I think, could be mistaken, he's shown some still lives shot on 4x5 with the same sort of less than perfect registration.

No, I'm not.

Click on my www tab and look at Heirloom Tomato 2 and 3 for examples where the film was flat. The sun was at a lower angle during #3 exposures (2pm-3pm) and more stationary in #2's exposures (11am-1pm)

Well, then, take a look at this: http://trichromie.free.fr/trichromie/

You may want to use Google Translate on it.

Interesting, but it's no match for Kodachrome (r.i.p.), although surely that wasn't the intention.

It was just a "what if" or "how well will this work" experiment.
No matter how one adjust any one of the channels all 3 will not match due to film not being flat. I made certain the camera and film holder did not move.

The www tomato (my www tab) images were made with the same Graphic 22 after a .010 addition to the pressure plate. I found 3 filters out of an older version of http://www.scientificsonline.com/better-grade-transparent-color-filters.html 3x5 size and cut them to fit some gel holders that I have that are close to the Tricolor separation of 25A Red, 47 Blue, and 58 Green Wratten filters.
