Hurter and Driffield information


H & D curve used in sensitometry

Ferdinand Hurter (1844–1898) and Vero Charles Driffield (1848–1915) were nineteenth-century photographic scientists who brought quantitative scientific practice to photography through the methods of sensitometry and densitometry.

Hurter & Driffield's actinograph.

Among their other innovations was a photographic exposure estimation device known as an actinograph.[1]
