I'm counting on you to teach the specifics to me. :-) From this pdf: http://209.197.89.228/Czar.pdf "The three images (top, middle, bottom) in the digitized file were separated into three separate digital files and labeled blue, green, and red. The three color files were then electronically sandwiched one on top of the other, registered, and adjusted for color contrast and color balance into a single color composite."
