Figure 11-18.—Characteristics of a red photographic filter. Figure 11-19.—Characteristics of a yellow photographic filter. a  yellow  filter  passes  read  and  green  and  absorbs  blue (fig. 11-18). In    selecting    a    filter    in    black    and    white photography, you can use the color star in figure 11-19 to determine the effect of the filter on the gray scale of the  negative  and  the  final  print.  On  the  final  print,  the result will be that a filter will lighten its own color and the colors adjacent to it and darken its complement and the  colors  adjacent  to  its  complement;  for  example,  a green filter  will  lighten  green  (its  own  color)  and  cyan and yellow (adjacent colors). It will darken magenta (its Figure 11-19.—Color star complement)  and  blue  and  red  (adjacent  colors  of  the complement). FILTER DESIGNATIONS Some   filters   are   designated   by   a   descriptive name,   such   as   neutral   density,   haze,   polarizing   and skylight. Color compensating and color print filters have yet another designation system. The    Kodak    Wratten    filter    line    uses    a numbering   system   to   designate   its   black-and-white filters, as shown in table 11-1 that filters in the Table 11-1.—Kodak Wratten  Filter 11-17
