a glass plate is coated in
gelatin emulsion or silver
bromide. After exposure

Color
Photography
Invented in France by

Auguste and Louis

Autochromes is the first
color photo process.

longer exposure time
than black and white
photography. The result

against blacklight or as a
projected image.
Kodachrome Film
Kodachrome is a brand name for a
non-substantive color reversal film. It
was introduced in 1935 by Eastman
Kodak. Those wishing to capture a
color image had to deal with heavy
glass heavy plates, tripods, long
exposures and an exacting
development procedure, all of which
resulted in less satisfactory pictures --
dull, tinted images that were far from
true to life. So while Kodak’s
discontinuation of the iconic color film
will affect only the most devoted photo
buffs -- The sales of kodachrome
accounts for less than 1% of the
company's revenue. The June 22
announcement breaks one of the
largest remaining ties to the era of pre
digital. Photography. It also ends a
legacy that includes some of the most Kodachrome film now a
enduring images of the 20th century days.
