SECTION 1



PHOTOGRAPHIC
PROCESSING




Photographic processing or development is the chemical means by which
photographic film or paper is treated after photographic exposure to
produce a negative or positive image. Photographic processing transforms
the latent image into a visible image, makes this permanent and renders
it insensitive to light.

PHOTOGRAPHIC
PAPER




Photographic paper is a paper coated with a light-sensitive chemical
formula, used for making photographic prints. When photographic paper
is exposed to light it captures a latent image that is then developed
to form a visible image, with most Printing out Papers the image
density from exposure can be sufficient to not require further
development, aside from fixing and clearing, though latent exposure
is also usually present. The light-sensitive layer of the paper is
called the emulsion. The most common chemistry was based on silver
salts (the focus of this page) but other alternatives have also been
used.

PHOTO
PAPER
FINISH




1. Glossy

The most widely used finish is the glossy finish which comes in
degree of glossiness from normal to high glossy. The shine from
the chemical coating helps distinguish the smallest details of
the photograph, however the resulting glare makes viewing the
print from certain angles challenging on occasion.


2. Matt

Depending on the brand, you will come across this finish as Matt
or Matte. It is situated on the other side of the scale with zero
glossiness. The lack of expensive finish makes the photo paper
slightly cheaper to produce and more affordable to buy which helps
explain why it is commonly used in brochure and flyer printing. It
is also commonly used when printing black and white photos, as
glossy finish can diminish from the photo’s credibility.


3. Satin

The satin finish is situated precisely in the middle, between the
glossy and matt finish. It benefits from a level of glossiness, but
nowhere near that of the actual glossy finish. Certain brands such
as Epson call their range of satin finish “semi-gloss” so the best
description will be a toned down glossy finish.


4. Pearl and Luster

These are offered by the more professional manufactures and represent
a type of satin finish with a textured feel. The normal satin or
semi-gloss finish is flat, but these two include a delicate texture
to make the print feel more special when held.
