Photochrom (also known as Fotochrom, Photochrome, or the Aäc process) is a process for producing colorized images from black-and-white negatives via the direct photographic transfer of a negative onto lithographic printing plates. The process is a photographic variant of chromolithography. A small number of the prints are black and white. Prints appear in three sizes: 4.5 x 6.5 inches, 3.5 x 7 inches, and 7 x 9 inches.
