The DEPROS systematically scanned the model, generating
after processing an enlarged 1 :25,000-scale dif
ferentially rectified film positive. The GREEN and
BLUE separates of this model were also scanned using
the same data.
The color-separate (RED, GREEN, and Blue) positives
were then converted to halftone, screened negatives.
Using the RED separates as the controlling image,
a project Dn was determined from a flight line in which
all frames are within a single roll. Por example:
Roll 1, exposure 18, contains the density values of:
Dx 1.20 Dn 0.30
A project Dn of 0.30 was programmed to return a 90 per
cent halftone dot in conjunction with a proper proces
sing gamma established through tests, where the Dx
density 1.20+ returned a 10 percent dot.
Normal color reproductions from black-and-white color
separates would produce a copy of the original, in
this case an enlarged, 1 :25,000-scale geometrically cor
rect infrared image (see Figure 4). This involves
making halftone negatives from the GZ-1 continuous-tone
positives. Regular color reproduction requires the
preparation of two negative halftone printers* from
the RED separate, one to become a cyan printer, the
other a black accent printer. Prom the GREEN separate
