摘要:
Motion picture prints made with the dye transfer, or imbibition (IB) process have a reputation for superior image quality and permanence. The process offers unique control over the dynamic range and color gamut of the prints. This invention provides for the insertion of a digital link in the traditional path of the image between the original record and the dye transfer print. The digital link provides digital means for alerting the color information in the image thereby simplifying the chemistry of the process, and enabling the manufacture of dye prints as a theatrical release medium for images originated either electronically or on film.

COLOR IMAGES PRODUCED BY DYEING GELATIN RELIEFS CONTAINING SILVER ARE COLOR CORRECTED BY REHALOGENATING THE GELATIN RELIEF AND THEN SUBJECTING IT TO A TANNING DEVELOPMENT. THIS TREATMENT CONTROLS THE DYE-ABSORBING ABILITY OF THE GELATIN RELIEF.

A LIGHT SENSITIVE MATERIAL CONTAINING A HARDENABLE HYDROPHILIC COLLOID, E.G., A GELATIN, LAYER WHICH CONTAINS A LIGHT SENSITIVE AROMATIC AZIDE AND A TRANSFERABLE DYE, AND PROCEDURE FOR UTILIZING SUCH MATERIAL, WHICH INCLUDES THE STEPS OF EXPOSING SAID COLLOID LAYER TO LIGHT UNDER A PATTERN OR NEGATIVE, TO HARDEN THE COLLOID IN PROPORTION TO THE DEGREE OF EXPOSURE, TEMPORARILY IMMOBILIZING THE TRANSFERABLE DYE, E.G., BY LOWERING THE PH OF THE COLLOID LAYER, OR BY SALT FORMATION, AND REMOVING THE UNHARDENED COLLOID BY DISSOLUTION WITH WATER, THEREBY PRODUCING A DYED MATRIX WITHOUT THE LOSS OF DYE DENSITY OF SAID TRANSFERABLE DYE DURING THE OPERATION WHICH REMOVES THE UNHARDENED COLLOID, THE IMMOBILIZED DYE BEING RENDERED TRANSFERABLE TO A RECEIVING LAYER OR BLANK, E.G., BY CONTACTING THE HARDENED RELIEF IMAGE WITH SUCH RECEIVING LAYER AT A HIGHER PH SUCH AS AN ALKALINE PH, E.G., ABOUT 8.
