Science Buddies: "Ask an Expert"

My experiment was on how changing the levels of the image during the process would affect the dominant color of the image to see how performing the procedure incorrectly can affect the data collected. The color finder I was attempting to use didn't work. I was only able to get shades of grey due to the fact that the background wasn't completely black due to the change in levels. I was considering taking a survey to see what other people believed was the dominant color of each of the images. Does anyone have any other advise? Thank you.

Hi Chandra,
I am sorry to say that I don't quite understand what you are trying to do in this experiment. It sounded like you are trying to vary the film development process to affect the color balance of the picture? Is this correct?
Any additional details would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!
Willey

Yeah... What you said is kind of confusing.

Hi Willey - fyi I believe the student is referring to this project: https://www.sciencebuddies.org/science- ... ml#summary. "Chandra" refers to NASA's Chandra X-Ray Observatory. The project is about how NASA images taken outside the visible spectrum (radio, infrared, X-ray, etc) are colorized.

Thanks bfinio, this make a lot more sense now!
