Abstract
A process for illuminating an object with a first spectrally distinct area. In the first step of the process, the spectral reflectivity of a first spectrally distinct area is determined, and that wavelength portion(s) of the spectrally distinct area that reflects more light form a light source than absorbs it (and the extent to which it does so) is identified. Thereafter, the maximum reflectivity of such wavelength portion, after illumination by the light source, is identified, and one also identifies that segment of the first wavelength portion which has a reflectivity of less than a specified percentage of the maximum reflectivity. A digitized image is then prepared which is modified to delete the low reflectivity segment of the first wavelength portion. The modified digital image is then fixed onto a medium (which may be, e.g., a color slide), the medium is illuminated with the light source, and the light image thus produced is projected onto the object.
