Photography- film

• Photographic film is a sheet of plastic

(polyester, nitrocellulose or cellulose acetate)
coated with an emulsion containing light-
sensitive silver halide salts (bonded by
gelatin) with variable crystal sizes that
determine the sensitivity, contrast and

• resolution of the film. When the emulsion is

sufficiently exposed to light (or other forms of
electromagnetic radiation such as X-rays), it
forms a latent (invisible) image. Chemical
processes can then be applied to the film to
create a visible image, in a process called film
developing
Photography- film
•In black-and-white photographic film there is usually one layer
of silver salts. When the exposed grains are developed, the silver
salts are converted to metallic silver, which block light and
appear as the black part of the film negative
•Color film uses at least three layers. Dyes, which adsorb to the
surface of the silver salts,
make the crystals
sensitive to different
Colors.

Transparency
Diapositive • a reversal film is a type of
film photographic film that
produces a positive image on
a transparent base. The film
is processed to produce
transparencies or diapositives
instead of negatives and
prints. Reversal film is
produced in various sizes,
from 35mm roll film to 8x10"
sheet film.
Diapositive • A slide is a specially mounted
film individual transparency
intended for projection onto
a screen using a slide
projector. This allows the
photograph to be viewed by a
large audience at once. The
most common form is the
35mm slide, with the image
framed in a 2x2" cardboard or
plastic mount.
• Grain The sand-like or granular
appearance of a print, slide, negative, or
digital image. Grain becomes more
noticable with higher ISO settings, the
degree of enlargement or length of
exposure time.
• In photography, the grain is the granular
particles in photographic emulsion of an
original print or negative. The printing
process causes the grain to become more
apparent than in the original.
• Irradiation - by the physical structure of the
emulsion and the distribution of the silver
halide grains cause rays of light to be scattered
as they travel through the emulsion.

The process of physical restoration uses a blend

of neutron irradiation, autoradiography and
photography to restore faded images. This is a
highly recommended restoration method as it is
non-destructive, but it is not easily available.
