[edit] Additive / Successive Frame confusion

I'm changing 'Also, the process suffered from "fringing" and "haloing" of the images, a insoluable problem as long as Kinemacolor remained an additive process' to 'Also, the process suffered from "fringing" and "haloing" of the images, a insoluable problem as long as Kinemacolor remained a successive frame process'. The fringing was caused by the fact that the red and green images were photographed in two separate acts, separated by time. A fast-moving subject can move between the exposure of the two frames, thereby blurring the edges of the moving parts of the image (because they were in different places when the red record and the green record were created). This is not because Kinemacolor was additive. There were many additive colour processes with no fringing issues - Chronochrome and Dufaycolor, for example (not to mention colour television!). - User:LDGE 20:00, 19 December 2006
