Cyan is a color made by mixing equal amounts of green and blue light (it also is a pure spectral color). As such, cyan is the complement of red: cyan pigments absorb red light. Cyan is sometimes called blue-green or turquoise and often goes undistinguished from light blue. Cyan is often referred to as "Electric Blue". Cyan is one of the common inks used in four-color printing, along with magenta, yellow, and black; ...

Burning-in is a term used in the photography industry. Burning-in is a technique used during the printing process to darken a specific portion of the print. For example, blue skies often appear a dull white in black and white pictures. The printer can burn-in the sky section of the photograph to darken the sky. This often helps to bring out the contrast between the sky and any clouds that may be present. To burn-in a print, the print is first given normal exposure. Next, extra exposure is given to the area(s) that needs to be d ...

Cyanotype is an old monochrome photographic printing process which gives a cyan-blue print. The English scientist and astronomer Sir John Herschel discovered this procedure in 1842. Though Sir John Herschel is perhaps the inventor of the cyanotype process, it was Anna Atkins, a British scientist, who brought the process into the realm of photography. She created a limited series of cyanotype books that document ferns and other plant life. By using this process, Anna Atkins is regarded as the first woman photographer. The process uses two chemicals: Ammonium iron(II ...

Purple is any of a group of colors intermediate between blue and red. On a chromaticity diagram, the straight line connecting the extreme spectral colors (red and violet) is known as the line of purples (or purple boundary); it represents one limit of human color perception. The color magenta used in the CMYK printing process is on the line of purples, but most people associate the term "purple" with a somewhat bluer shade. There is some common confusi ...

Whiteprint is the commercial terminology to describe document reproduction using the diazo chemical process. It is also known as the blueline or blue-line process. There are two components in this process: the diazonium salt - a light sensitive chemical the azodye (aka coupler) - a colourless chemical that combines with diazo to produce color In a variety of combinations and strengths, these two chemicals are mixed together in water and coated onto paper. The resulting coating is then dried y ...

The process of color separation occurs when the original artwork is digitally scanned and separated into red, green, and blue components. Before digital imaging was developed, the traditional method of doing this was to photograph the image three times, using a filter for each color. However this is achieved, the desired result is three grayscale images, which represent the red, green, and blue (RGB) components of the original image: The next step is to invert each of these separations. When a negative image of the red component is pr ...

Contrary to popular belief, there is no evidence to support the assertion that the blue laws were originally printed on blue paper. Rather, the word blue was commonly used in the 18th century as a disparaging reference to rigid moral codes and those who observed them (e.g., "bluenoses"). Moreover, although Reverend Peters claimed that the term blue law was originally used by Puritan colonists, his work has since been found to be unreliable, and it is more likely that he simply invented the term himself. In any event, Peters nev ...

Differing sources date it from 1844 [2] or 1846 [3] and differ as to who wrote it; one early printing attributed it to Dan Emmett. [4] At the time, though, it was commonplace for the recorder of a folk song to take credit. It has also been conjectured that it might not have b ...

WB has also had controversy over Turner Entertainment’s "dubbed version" prints, used on many pre-1948 cartoons beginning in 1995. These versions were actually new ones derived (hence the "dubbed" moniker) from earlier-generation prints of whatever versions of shorts were available, even if they were the altered "blue ribbon" prints. These "dubbed versions" had their many alterations. They have a generic end card (with either orange or red rings), with a disclaiming copyright to Turner (see screenshot), thus replacing the original colored ...

Original prints of the film were on cellulose nitrate film stock and were either worn out, decomposed or were destroyed by the studio (mostly the latter). Original prints were on tinted film stock in various colors, including sunshine, amber, rose, lavender and blue. The only surviving prints of the film are 16mm "show-at-home" prints that were distributed by Universal in the 1920s and 1930s for home-movie purposes. Most video editions of the film are derived from 16mm duplicate p ...

Color shades have several different causes. The printer may use a different ink; in the early days, inks were made up in batches as needed, and were rarely consistent. In such cases, the shade provides information about when the stamp was made, and possibly even identify a particular printing. Extreme variations may be considered color errors; for instance, the 4c value of the US Columbian Issue of 1893 was normally printed in ultramarine, but a handful were printed in blue, a shade with distinctly more green; ...

The blueprint process was developed by the British astronomer Sir John Herschel in 1840. The photosensitive compound, a solution of ammonium ferric citrate and potassium ferricyanide, is coated onto blueprint paper. Areas of the compound exposed to strong light are converted to insoluble blue ferric ferrocyanide, or Prussian blue. The soluble chemicals are washed off with water leaving a light-stable print. A similar process was used to produ ...

Use of four-color printing generates a good final printed result with greater contrast. However the color a person sees on a computer screen is often different from the color of the same object on a printout since CMYK and RGB have different gamuts. For example, pure, royal blue (rgb 0, 0, 100%) is impossible to produce in CMYK. The nearest equivalent in CMYK is a dissimilar shade of purple. Computer (and other) screens use an RGB colour space, representing colours as additive mixtures of red, green and blue light (whose sum is white ...

Hand-colouring should be distinguished from tinting, toning and retouching. Tinted photographs are made with dyed printing papers produced by commercial manufacturers. A single overall colour underlies the image and is most apparent in the highlights and mid-tones. From the 1870s albumen printing papers were available in pale pink or blue, and from the 1890s gelatin-silver printing-out papers in pale mauve or pink were available. There were other kinds of tinted papers as well. ...

Carmilla was first published in the magazine The Dark Blue in 1872, and then in the author's collection of short stories, In a Glass Darkly the same year. The story ran in The Dark Blue in three issues; January (1872), pp. 592-606; February (1872), pp. 701-714; and March (1872), pp. 59-78. There were two original illustrators for the story, both of which appeared in the magazine but which do not appear in modern printings of the book. The two illustrators, D. H. Friston and M. Fitzgerald, show some inconsis ...
