Can anyone provide me with a reference as to where I can see/learn this process?

This is fascinating! Can anyone provide me with a reference to Technicolor
recommendations to cinematographers?

Fortunately, I work in a film archive for a living and project films as
well. In Chicago, it is not uncommon to see Technicolor films on occasion.
The original Technicolor process was used in Hollywood until 1974 and is
still used today in China. Technicolor is a 3-color dye transfer process
and looks very much like the old magazine ads I mentioned in my earlier
message. I was not aware that dye transfer for still imagery was a
subtractive process b/c I am only familiar with the additive Technicolor
process. RK was probably right that the originals for these old ads were
dye transfer photos.
Anyway, my eventual goal is to have large color prints that have the same
color qualities as a Technicolor (dye transfer) film.
