In making stereoscopic prints, the aim is to convey the id ea
of perspective and to depict animated life. This can be easi ly
accomplished by following the instructions closely and by using
a little
care in the matt er of trimming an d tran spos ing th e neg-
atives.
The operation of puttin g the Solio paper and the film face
to face in printing, plac
es th e right hand print on the left hand
side, and vice ve1'sa. To ove rcome thi s, trim and tran spose
the n ega tiv es before printing in the following ma nner: Lay
the
cutting guide, which accompani es this Kod ak , on the face
of
the right hand negative so as to l eave small m arg in for trim-
ming
on the ri gh t hand edge . Note some well-defined object
in th e middle distance which is intersected by the inner straight
edge AA. Now tr ansfer guide to left-ha nd neg ative so th at line
AA intersects sam e object at same point. If margins of n ega -
tive r
ema in on both left a nd right sides of guide-mask, cut off
margin on left. Now place guide on rig ht hand n ega tive once
mor e at identically the same spot as before and cut off margin
from right hand end. It must be re memb ered that centers
which you
work from must be at such point as will allow slight
trim at eac h side of ma sk. If first point tried does not give this
result,
try another. There is a common center. K eep mask

ting.
After the outer edges of n ega tiv es hav e b ee n trimm ed , cut
the n ega tives apart at intersection and transpose. In transpos -
ing,
bring the trimmed edges of both n ega tives together, both
face up . Now, with gummed slips, pas te the n ega tives face up
to the glass of printing frame. On th ese lay a piece of Solio
