La reproduction des couleurs du procédé autochrome se fait par réseau trichrome d'après le principe additif. Le réseau trichrome est constitué de fécule de pomme de terre tamisée, teintée en bleu, en vert et en rouge. Après les avoir mélangées, elles sont collées sur une plaque de verre. Les interstices entre les grains sont noircis avec de la poudre noire de charbon de bois. On recouvre la surface ainsi obtenue d'une couche de vernis très mince et imperméable, puis on coule sur ce vernis une couche d'émulsion photographique panchromatique. Ce procédé correspond à celui de la synthèse additive : 3 projecteurs équipés de filtres bleu, vert et rouge, reproduisant les différentes couleurs par addition, et les 3 plaques argentique en noir et blanc. 2, record 2, French, - proc%C3%A9d%C3%A9%20autochrome

A photographic film composed of two sensitive emulsions, each is sensitive to a different color when exposed simultaneously. 2, record 3, English, - bipack%20film
Record number: 3, Textual support number: 1 CONT
Bipack films were employed in early colour processes to obtain a chromatic selection of the scene being taken. This was achieved by placing one film with orthochromatic emulsion face to face with another coated with panchromatic emulsion. The first film was tinted to act as a selecting filter so that a different region of the spectrum was recorded on each emulsion. Nowadays, the standardization of colour monopack film has made the bipack system obsolete... 1, record 3, English, - bipack%20film
