PORTRAIT When this was completed and the mask registeredexactly with the top and edge of the negative, as aguide, it was only a matter of first putting the paperon the one negative and exposing it, then on the other,and with the correct time on both negatives a perfectmatch was the result, as shown in No. 5.
