Miley's Color Photography Demonstrates True Colored Photography
A new color photography process by M Miley of Lexington Va yields vivid images printed directly with color in the photograph itself. The method uses three gelatin negatives captured under green blue and red light, with corresponding color gels, then layered to form a full color print on paper.
