Flashing is generally accomplished by giving the paper a weak diffuse exposure before, during or after the printing.

hi, great article! but where are the example photos referred to in the text?
You take a test shot and notice the blinkies are flashing so you dial in some minus compensation. The needed amount to get the histogram to look right winds up to be minus a full stop. Your shoot lasts for just about an hour.
What if the camera's aperture display is flashing "f/2.8" and the preview pictures are too dark? It is probably late in the afternoon on a cloudy day and the lens won't open up wide enough to admit sufficient light at the short shutter speed.
A merry-go-round at the county fair whips around faster and faster, its lights flashing on and off and its horses and its carriages blurring together into one steady stream of motion.
If the maximum aperture value of your lens starts flashing in the viewfinder it means the background of the scene you're shooting is too dimly lit. If you want to try and expose the background then you should decrease the shutter speed to compensate.
Of course, the photographer should be sensitive about flashing his strobe too many times in a row if the creature is sensitive to this intrusion.
In fact, color seems to be hard wired into not only our perceptual system but our emotional system as well -- cool colors have a calming effect (a deep blue lake) while warm colors have a stimulating effect (the flashing red light on top of a ...
Low contrast originals won't need flashing, but high contrast images will be produced too contrasty unless you fog the film to some degree. Slide duplicators are the most expensive method of getting duplicates.
Do Not Use Scrolling, Flashing or Animated Text - Imagine trying to read something that's scrolling from left to right really fast, blinking off and on or undergoing a metamorphosis. This can be quite a lot to keep up with, right?
They will perform for you like no other, flashing and changing colors. The image above was shot at a very slow shutter speed to get the ambient water background. But the cuttlefish had to be still. Exposure: 1/10 sec at f/13.
The car returns, lights flashing, and parks behind the photographer. Another squad car jerks to a stop beside it. "Four cops walk up in a SWAT-type formation," McKinniss later recalls. "They weren't casual about it. Talk about intimidation!" ...
As a printer you may already under certain circumstances using paper fogging or what is more commonly termed as flashing to control the overall contrast of the final print.

Have you ever found yourself looking through your photos on your camera's LCD, only to find certain parts flashing white? A lot of people wonder what's going on and whether there is something wrong with their camera. Well, don't worry.
The word "PrE" will begin flashing on one of the LCD displays on the camera. Exactly where varies somewhat by model since not all models have the same number or placement of displays.
Once recording has begun the camera displays a flashing red dot on the screen, and counts down the available time remaining. Movie clips are restricted to a maximum of 10 min in length.
Cinematographers do not "white balance" in the same way as video camera operators; they can use techniques such as filters, choice of film stock, pre-flashing, and after shooting, color grading (both by exposure at the labs and also digitally).
Most digital timers have a set time (eg, 10 seconds) which counts down, giving beeps or flashing LEDs as warnings, and then trips the shutter. Some electronic cameras offer the ability to select a desired length of time.
The insertion point usually appears as a flashing vertical bar in the application's window or in a dialog box. The text you type will appear to the left of the insertion point, which is pushed to the right as you type.
As above but using LED's ( little red lights) instead of a needle. Steady LED for set speed and flashing LED for recommended speed.
One drawback is that the background image is a pretty big file; as it loads, it creates a flashing effect that can be disorienting.
STROBE - Although commonly-used to describe an electronic flash unit, especially one used in a studio, a strobe (short for "stroboscope" or "stroboscopic lamp") actually refers to an intermittently-flashing, extremely-short duration, ...
