52…THE THEORY OF THE PHOTOGRAPHIC PROCESS
The theory of the photographic process involves a study of the nature of the light-
sensitive layers used, of the factors which control their sensitivity to light, of the
changes induced in them by the action of light, of the nature of development, and of
the properties of the final image and its relation in tone values to the tone values of
the scene from which it was produced.—C. E. K. MEES.
