Abstract: This invention relates to a process and a device for adjusting a photographic color enlarging or copying apparatus. By means of the measuring device that uses copying light of the enlarging apparatus to be adjusted as the measuring light, the color densities of a test copy made of a test original and of a reference copy which represents a satisfactory picture reproduction of the test original are measured selectively in the colors red, green and blue and are compared with one another. Corresponding to an existing deviation, adjusting control means at the enlarging apparatus that color-selectively influence the amount of copying light are readjusted until the deviation is balanced, and another test copy is made with the new exposure conditions and is measured.
