Emulsion Speed - it is the measure of photographic films sensitivity to light determined by sensitometry and measure various numerical scales
AMERICAN STANDARD ASSOCIATION - a film with an arithmetic value of 400
Deutche Industri Normen - in this system an increase of 3° double the sensitivity of the film
International Standard Organization - expressed in the combined arithmetical and logarithmic values
Slow Film - iso 100 or 200 film speeds are best for bright lightning conditions and outdoor photography
Medium Speed Film - photographs can be taken without the need for high amounts of lighting and moving subjects can be photograph with ease
Fast Film - film will result in the graininess photographs but it is great to use when shooting fast moving subjects in low light conditions.
Super Fast Film - permit picture taking in extreme low light conditions and some are termed surveillance films
Spectral Sensitivity - it refers to the color sensitivity.
Granularity - refers to the size of metallic silver grains
Color Film - is a type of photographic film that is designed to capture and reproduce images in color
Blue Sensitive - this is the top layer of color film that is primarily sensitive to blue light
Green Sensitive - this is the middle layer of the color film that is sensitive to green light
Red Sensitive - this is the bottom layer of the color film that is sensitive to red light
Blue Sensitive Recording Layer - consisting of gelatin in which silver salts and the color coupler are embedded
Adhesion Substratum - the base or support is usually made of cellulose triacetate or polyester
Anti Halation Layer - serve as an anti curl layer
Color Reversal Film - commonly called slide film or positive film creates opposite or negative film or black and white film
Color Negative Film - known as color print film and when it is come to coloration color negative film yields true to life colors and contrast
Latent Image - invisible image left by the action of light photographic paper has not yet developed
Contrast - difference between the darkestone and the lightest stone in a negative,print,slide
Density - in a negative or slide density relates to the amount of developed silver in area and is a measure of the " light stopping power" of that area
Emulsion - it is considered as heart of the film coated on a transparent base for film
Orthochromatic Film - Sensitive to all colors except red
Minicopy Film - Film with limited enlargement capability
Polaroid Film - A special type of sensitized material that produces a photograph immediately after exposure.
Color Film - All film ending in "COLOR".
Color Negatives - for prints, ends in word"COLOR"
Color Transparency - for slides, ends in the word "CHROME".
Color Infra-red Film - A special type of film which is sensitive to infra-red radiation.
X-ray Film - A material which is sensitive to x-ray region of electromagnetic spectrum
Monochromatic Film - Because of its limited color sensitivity has no use in regular photography
Orthochromatic Films -These are sensitive to ultra-violet, violet, blue, green and yellow portions of the spectrum.They do not accurately reproduce the relative brightness of the subject of a subject as seen by the naked eye.
Panchromatic films - These are sensitive to all color of the visual spectrum to assist in the selection of the correct film
Gelatin Anti-Halation Layer- this layer prevents light from passing back through the emulsion layer once it has already passed through.
Anti-Curl Backing - this layer stabilizes the laminate to prevent it from curling.
Adhesion Layer - this layer is used to bond different layers together.
American Standard Association - Rating This is expressed in arithmetical value.
Deutche Industri Normen - Rating - This is expressed in logarithmic Value
International Standards Organization - This is expressed in the combined arithmetical and logarithmic values.
