viable color photo process, the Autochrome
After the kinks in the process were resolved, the process was made available to the public in 1906
 
Transparent image on glass - similar to a modern slide
Filter composed of colored potato starch grains
fixed to the top of the glass plate before exposure
During exposure, light traveled through the color screens before hitting the light sensitive emulsion that coated the bottom of the glass allowing selective exposure of the emulsion to color
