For ihe

especiolly
the

siringent,
especiolly when results

With colour

which, os
you

requires
more criiicol
exposure
-
the lighier
portions
of o

exposure. Therefore,
keep on
eye on
such
lighter
oreos
ond
preferobly
expose o little
shorier
rolher thon longer,
to
get
more brilliont
colours.
ln
block-ond-white,
however,
the
shodowy
portions
which ore to hove
some detoil
