With experience, exposure adjustments can be

estimated accurately when the test print is close to the
desired density and color balance. Table 12-2 provides
more detailed information on exposure compensations
when CC or CP filter changes are made.

Additive Printers or Enlargers

To use table 12-2, you must first divide the old

exposure time by the factor for any filter removed from
the pack Then multiply the resulting time by the factor

Additive printers operate completely opposite from

subtractive printers. Color correcting may get confusing
if you are operating both types of printers.

When making corrections to your filter pack on an

additive printer, you should make the corrections as you
