A standard procedure was developed for photographing painted objects with Kodak Ektachrome infrared film 2236. Artists' tube colors and pigment manufacturers' shade cards served as photographic subject material. During development of the procedure, consideration was given to lighting, filtration, film storage and post-exposure control.
