Abstract
A technique using commercially available electronic scanners to produce restored four-color separations from dark faded transparencies has been examined. The ability of the scanner to make adjustments in the tonal gradation of each dye layer, based on actual dye loss due to dark fading, has been noted. Comparisons between test separations and results obtained using the Dupe Mask Method have been made. Results of initial restorations, are favorable.
