Abstract: A reflectographic apparatus, equipped with an image processor, has been used to obtain a trichromatic image of paintings comprehensive of both visible and infrared (700-1000nm) regions. The first step has been to reproduce with MIPP (multispectral image processing of paintings) images similar to those obtained with IR Kodak colour film. A good discrimination of both pigments and overpainting is possible with this technique which operates in a more flexible and powerful way than IR ‘false colour’ photography. Results are shown relative to a test panel and a tempera painting with extensive overpaint. The possibility of utilizing this technique to correlate a single pigment with its MIPP image is now under investigation.
