>>>Thanks for that URL, Dragan. They're fabulous. I understand the principle of taking 3 photos, each with a different coloured lens, but when I see the resulting 3 B&W images and know that combining them gives colour - that's where my brain goes "DOES NOT COMPUTE!" :-)

>>My thoughts exactly. I understand the primary colors and all that, but it is still amazing how it works. I guess the guy was a genius.

>Well I've seen a similar phenomenon in, say, Photoshop, where you can splice a colour picture into 3 monochrome components and when you recombine them they make colour. So the thing doe s work that way. But where did this Russian get colour photographic paper from. Even when I was a kid thjey were still tinting B&W photos to make pseudo-coloured imnages.


Yes that's right.
I guess he used some kind of transparencies.
Even so, if he used filters, wouldn't the entire photo be green-ish or blue-ish or red-ish?
Once you overlay them to each other, would the photo come out the way it is shown on the website?

hmmm I don't knwo enough about photography... where is Alex when we need him?
