2. COLOR AND PHOTOGRAPHY
• COLOR IS INTERPRETED BY THE HUMAN EYE’S ABILITY TO INTAKE AND
PROCESS LIGHTWAVES. THESE LIGHTWAVES ARE CATEGORIZED UNDER
THE COLOR SPECTRUM, CONSISTING 3 PRIMARY COLORS, AND 3 TERTIARY
COLORS.
• THE 3 PRIMARY: RED, BLUE, GREEN.
• THE 3 TERTIARY: CYAN, MAGENTA, YELLOW.
• THESE COLORS COMBINE THROUGH THE LIGHT CAPTURED ON
FILM, FORMING THE COLORS WE SEE WITH OUR EYES.
• VARIATIONS IN LIGHTING CREATE VARIATIONS IN COLOR.

3. COLOR MANIPULATION
• COLOR IN FILM CAN BE EDITED, THROUGH A VARIETY OF POST-
PROCCESSING TECHNIQUES.
• THESE METHODS INCLUDE PHYSICAL MANIPULATION OF THE
FILM, THROUGH “TWEAKING” DURING A ROLL OF FILM’S CHEMICLE
DEVELOPMENT.
• MORE RECENTLY, DIGITAL EQUIPMENT ALLOWS MANIPULATION OF DIGITAL
“FILM” THROUGH A MULTITUDE OF POST-PROCCESSING PROGRAMS.
(PHOTOSHOP, FOR EXAMPLE)

4. IN SUMMARY
• BY MANIPUTING FACTORS SUCH AS LIGHTING, DIFFERENT COLOR EFFECTS
CAN IN PICTURES CAN BE ACHIEVED. IF IT IS NOT DONE MANUALLY AT THE
OUTSET OF THE PHOTOGRAPH’S MOMENT OF CAPTURE, IT CAN BE DONE VIA
POST-PROCCESS, EITHER THROUGH PHYSICAL (DEVELOPMENT) OR DIGITAL
MANIPULATION.
