As thesenegatives are usually upon films, they canbe printed from either side ; and, if lightedmore from one side than the other, canbe made to match with the negative. Theprint is then adjusted over the film, andthe frame closed up. Before exposing tothe light, it must be masked so as tocover up the portions already printed the case of a spire or masts, as alreadyreferred to, they may be ignored, and theclouds printed right over them.
