Abstract: An initial step of inspecting a positive color transparency is performed to determine the darkest detail area thereof to be reproduced and is subsequently followed by the superposing of the positive color transparency on a panel of photochromic (light sensitive) glass to form a laminate-type assembly. Thereafter, the assembly has a beam of light directed therethrough from the transparency side thereof. The beam intensity and the duration of illumination is sufficient to cause the more heavily illuminated portions of the glass panel to darken. Thereafter, trial enlarger exposing of a trial color separation negative film sheet through the assembly and a half-tone screen with sufficient light determined to properly expose the area of the trial negative film sheet corresponding to the prior mentioned darkest detail area of the transparency is accomplished.

Abstract: An initial step of inspection of a positive color transparency is performed to determine the darkest detail area thereof to be reproduced and is subsequently followed by trial enlarger exposing of a color separation negative film sheet through the positive color transparency and a half-tone screen with sufficient light to properly expose the corresponding area of the trial film. Thereafter, the trial film is developed with sufficiently less developing time and greater developer strength (to compensate for the less developing time) to achieve the desired "dot size" in the aforementioned corresponding area of the negative as well as in the lighter detail areas thereof.

Abstract: Fungicidal oxadithiadiazapentalenes of the formula ##STR1## wherein R and R' are independently hydroxy or lower alkyl; R.sup.1 is hydrogen or lower alkyl; R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 are each, independent of the other, hydrogen, halogen, alkenyl, hydroxy, hydroxyalkenyl, alkoxy, alkoxyalkyl, alkoxyalkenyl, alkylthio, or haloalkyl having from 1 to 3 carbon atoms and from 1 to 4 halogen atoms or R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 together are alkylidiene, alkoxyalkenyl or together with the carbon atom to which they are joined form a cycloalkyl group; and R.sup.4 and R.sup.5 are each independent of the other hydrogen, alkyl, alkoxy, halogen, haloalkyl, nitro, cyano, or dialkylamino. The compounds can be prepared by reacting sulfur chloride with the appropriate substituted N-cyanoalkylenecarboxyamide corresponding to the substituent desired at the 2-position of the compounds. The compounds are useful for controlling plant fungus; especially Grape Downy Mildew fungus and Tomato Late Blight fungus.
