Trichrome Party
View allAll Photos Tagged trichromes
Trichrome is the process of using black and white film, one image taken with a red filter, green filter and blue filter. Then some processing needed.
Digitally composed from 4 blac&white negative film scans in GIMP. Here is MY PROBLEM: could someone refer to me what are the optimal color assignment and blending modes in GIMP? I cannot really say at this point if I used "screen" or "additive light", for each layer and overall, and any way this made the upper right corner of the picture quite much blown out of proportion despite the negatives (and their scans) holding relatively good detail in that area. I was trying to play with curves in each layer, but while the situation improved, it did not reach my liking. I am very much GIMP naive, but I have also not used Photoshop extensively at any point - therefore, I am layer workflow naive. I guess that this is the beginning of a learning journey for me.

1st: 2x NISI natural night & Landscape C-PL filters (the only blue I had) - after this one, the tripod head shifted, so it was most difficult to align, which did not succeed completely
2nd: B+W Yellow & NISI PRO-C-PL filters
3rd: 580nm (light red) IR pass filter
4th: 720nm IR pass filter

Trichromatic photography is the process of taking three identical black and white photos (film), each taken with a different color filter (red, green, and blue), and then combining the three photos to create a color image. This is how it was done before color film arrived.

Another film trichrome, together with its constituent colour separated frames. These are the contrast- and brightness-adjusted positives, colourized in the colour of the respective filter via the Curves command in Photoshop. When combined in lighten layer mode, they produce the colour image on the left.
An alternative way of combining the frames is just to copy the black-and-white positives into the respective colour channels. This is how I do it. The Adobe RGB or image P3 colour profiles produce the best colour; with a narrow profile such as sRGB colours are too muted while with a very wide one such as ProPhoto RGB they are much too saturated.

This was to be the green channel of a trichrome, but the blue channel was completely useless, so it couldn't be done. Shot on expired film, colourised on the computer.

Infrared-green-blue trichrome in which the IR cnannel has been rendered red, creating a similar effect to that of the old Kodak colour IR film.

This is my self-designed filter frame for the trichrome gel filters no. 681, 682 and 683 from Göttinger Farbfilter (a highly specialized German company that seems to survive without any marketing at all but has interesting products). It is made from laser-cut black cardboard to fit my old Cokin filter holder and makes it easy and quick to change filters between subsequent shots. A filter wheel would be even better.
Correct colour for the plant (which is called Little Ruby) but the background and leaves in shadow don't look right. More experimentation is in order.

No 💩 Sherlock.
No easy way of balancing your way out of this one. I made it, so you have to see it 😁
Pottery from Úbeda, Spain. In sepia, with Orton effect, this was taken as the blue channel for a trichrome.

I took this photograph, made three copies, applied red, green, and blue filters to each respectively. Then turned them into b&w and corrected levels automatically. After, I piled them one on top of another and reapplied the colour filters. This is the result, a trichrome from a single colour photograph.
