Color mixing correspond to ideal subtractive color mixing because some light from the subtracted color is still being reflected by one component of the original paint. This results in a darker and desaturated color compared to the color that would be achieved with ideal filters. The three primary colors in subtractive mixing that produce the largest gamut are yellow, magenta and cyan, leading to the CMYK color model widely used in color printing. Historically, painters have used yellow, red and blue in place of these, resulting in reduced gamut. In subtractive mixing of color, the absence of color is white and the
Combination printing would be able to combine the two negatives by blending them together. Photographers such as William Frederick Lake Price and Oscar Rejlander are famous for using combination printing. Starting as early as the mid-19th century, new methods such as the combination printing, began to change the way people looked at different photographic techniques.
