Agfacontour Professional was (as of 2002 not anymore produced) a special emulsion sheet film which, after exposure and development in the Agfacontour developer, produced direct equidensities. Agfacontour was introduced in 1970 by Agfa-Gevaert to produce equidensities by a direct, one-developing-step process. Until then equidensities had to be obtained using one of the following techniques: The Agfacontour film contained two special emulsions with each different spectral sensitivity. The Gamma of the material was very high (approx. above 7.0), power of resolution was 40 lines/mm

dbo:abstract
  • Agfacontour Professional war ein Planfilm mit spezieller Fotoemulsion, welcher nach Belichtung und Entwicklung im Agfacontour-Entwickler Äquidensiten in einem Durchgang produzierte. Agfacontour wurde von der Agfa 1970 auf dem Markt gebracht und war 2002 nicht mehr in Produktion. Bis zur Erscheinung des Agfacontour Filmes gab es folgende Verfahren, Äquidensiten herzustellen: * Das Einplatten-Verfahren, auch Sabattier- oder Pseudosolarisations-Verfahren genannt * Das Zweiplatten-Verfahren, auch Negativ/Positiv-Verfahren genannt * Das Streulicht-Verfahren * Elektronische (Video) Verfahren * Die Punktausmessung mit Densitometern bzw. Densographen * Automatische Messung mit Digitizern Jedes dieser Verfahren hatte seine Nachteile, wobei die Reproduzierbarkeit bei den fotografischen Verfahren und generell Verfahrenschwierigkeiten wohl die wichtigsten Nachteile waren. Wegen Schwierigkeiten der Reproduzierbarkeit war die quantitative Auswertung der Dichte nur mit Punktausmessung und Digitizer möglich. Deshalb wurde bei Agfa eine Arbeitsgruppe errichtet, um ein fotografisches Verfahren zu entwickeln, das die folgende Aufgabenstellung erfüllte: * Schwarzweißauszug eines genau steuerbaren Dichtebereichs * Aufgliederung in einzelne Dichtebereiche, die über Farbumsetzung oder mittels Symbolraster überschaubar gestaltet werden * Abstandsmessung gleichartiger Schwärzungen (speziell bei Schwärzungsverläufen) * Informationsverdeutlichung bei chaotischen Dichteverteilungen und Dichteverläufen Der Agfacontour Professional Planfilm Emulsion bestand im Wesentlichen aus drei Komponenten, und zwar einer Silberbromid-Emulsion, einer Silberchlorid-Emulsion und katalytisch aktiven Keimen für eine physikalische Entwicklung, wie z. B. Silbersulfid. Da die beiden Emulsion unterschiedliche Spektralempfindlichkeiten besaßen, war die Breite der Äquidensite steuerbar mittels Gelb- und Magentafilterung. Obwohl das Material ziemlich unempfindlich war (für höhere Dichten waren minutenlange Belichtungszeiten notwendig), waren die Resultate sehr reproduzierfähig und zeigten Äquidensiten zweiter Ordnung klare und scharfe Resultate – etwas, was mit der Pseudosolarisation nur mit Spezialentwickler erreichbar war. Das Gamma des Agfacontourfilmes war sehr hoch (über 7) und das Auflösungsvermögen war 40 Linien/mm. (de)
  • Agfacontour Professional was (as of 2002 not anymore produced) a special emulsion sheet film which, after exposure and development in the Agfacontour developer, produced direct equidensities. Agfacontour was introduced in 1970 by Agfa-Gevaert to produce equidensities by a direct, one-developing-step process. Until then equidensities had to be obtained using one of the following techniques: * The most popular method to obtain equidensities was the One-Film technique, better known as Sabattier effect (a.k.a. Pseudosolarization). * Another technique, making tonal extractions on high-contrast film, was called the Two-Film technique (negative-positive process): from a negative 3-5 different exposures were made on ultra high-contrast lith-films. These 3-5 positives were then copied again on ultra high-contrast lith-film to obtain negatives with virtually no grey tones. Then one positive and a negative from a different set were sandwiched together in register to obtain one specific equidensity. Using the same shuffling, the other positives were combined with the negatives to resulting in 2-4 equidensity series. * Although there are other techniques such as the Scattered-light technique or Electronic (video) techniques, thy are less important for obtaining equidensity series. Each of these techniques had its drawbacks of which reproducibility and extensive work involvement were undoubtedly the most important ones. Therefore the researchers at Agfa-Gevaert set up a workgroup to develop a film that enables the use of equidensitometry with the following, principal evaluation methods of an information-carrier 1. * A Black and white extract of a precisely controllable range of densities 2. * A breakdown into separate, distinctive density ranges which could be created in a manageable manner by colorizing or using Halftone screens 3. * Distance measurement of similar densities, called isodensities (especially in cases of density gradients) 4. * Information clarification/reduction in the presence of chaotic density distribution and density gradients The Agfacontour film contained two special emulsions with each different spectral sensitivity. * By using color filters (yellow or magenta) during the exposure one could respectively narrow or widen the width of the equidensity. * By varying the exposure one could change the density in the image that showed on Agfacontour as equidensity. Although the material exhibited very low sensitivity (long exposures were necessary) the results were very reproducible and second order equidensities were sharp and clear, something that with pseudo-solarization was almost impossible to achieve without special procedures. The Gamma of the material was very high (approx. above 7.0), power of resolution was 40 lines/mm Since the introduction of Photo editing software, altering curves into U-curves also produces equidensities. For the image at the right a darkroom process was used that encompassed the production a serie of equidensities of the negative, enlarged on Agfacontour Professional sheetfilm. Each sheet was then copied onto lith film and developed in lith developer. Each copy was then developed in a chromogenic developer. All colored lith films were then put together in register and a positive print on color paper was made. (en)
