Drying Conditions and Photographic Density

D. R. White

A sensitometric study is presented of the effect of varied drying conditions on positive film. It is found that the gamma changes considerably with drying conditions. At 86°F., for instance, an increase from 36 to SO per cent in relative humidity increased the gamma from 1.97 to 2.45. The effect appears to be concurrent with softening of the gelatin during drying.
