ABSTRACT

In addition to the main image-forming exposure, film and paper can be given a brief non-image forming exposure to control excessive contrast. The effects on film and paper are quite different, and the earlier chapter ‘Pre-Exposure’ has already examined the effects on film in detail. In this chapter, we will explore the application of non-image exposures on photographic paper, which, unlike split-grade printing, can be used with fixed-grade or variable-contrast papers.
