Tiffen Q-13 Colour Separation Guide Small EK1527654T

The Tiffen Colour Separation Guide contains both a traditional black and white grayscale as well as a colour step wedge. This accessory is used for making colour separations as well as assuring proper colour and contrast balance in colour photography.

The Tiffen (Formally Known As Kodak) Colour Separation Guide & Grey Scale Q13 (Small) is a quality control device of stepped, neutral values to help the photographer (1) compare the tone values of reflection originals with the tone values of the reproduced image, (2) compare exposure and processing in a photographic environment so that changing conditions can be identified, measured and controlled, (3) "balance" negatives and positives in a traditional colour reproduction process that requires the use of masks, separation films, and filters, and (4) determine values for plotting tone-reproduction curves.

Tiffen Colour Control Patches help the photographer compare the colour of the subject with known printing colours. They also help the graphic arts camera or scanner operator identify colour separation negatives and positives for colour reproduction processes. They consist of RGB, CYM, black, white and grey swatches in addition to a grey scale.

Camera Assistants routinely cut the grey scale and colour bars and paste them on their camera slates. This gives the lab an accurate way to colour correct a timed print. Both scales are 8" wide.
