43. The Reflector

The Reflector. The retouching frame should be placed on a table of normal height, close to a north window, or a window on which the sun is not shining. In order to have the light reflect evenly upon the negative, a sheet of white paper about 15 inches long may be placed directly underneath the negative on the lower section of the frame. The regular retouching easels are supplied with a mirror for the reflecting surface, but the white cardboard answers every purpose.
