DIGITAL VTR

耍 videotape recorder that translates

and records the analog video signal in digital form.

DIRECT POSITIVE

耍 positive image obtained

directly from another positive image without the use

of a negative.

DODGING

耍 printing technique in which certain areas

being exposed are temporarily shielded, thereby
producing a different exposure than that used for the
rest of the print.

DROPOUT

耍 loss of part of the video signal that

appears as white glitches. Caused by dirty VTR
heads or poor quality videotape.

DRY MOUNTING

耍 method for mounting

photographs or artwork on a support by means of a
thermosetting laminate that is heated to effect a
bond. (PIA)

DRYING MARK

范pots or streaks on negatives and

prints differing in density from the surrounding

area, produced by uneven drying of the film during
processing.

DUB

胖uplication of an electronic recording, either tape

to tape, record to tape, or vise versa. Dub is always
one generation away from the original recording.

EKTACHROME

耍 trademark of Eastman Kodak

Company for a multilayer reversal color film in

which couplers are incorporated in the emulsion
layers that form dyes in the emulsion during
processing.

EKTACOLOR

耍 trademark of Eastman Kodak

Company for a multilayer color negative film in
which dye couplers are incorporated in the emulsion
layers which upon development produce dye
images complimentary to the object colors. Unused
couplers remaining in the emulsion after
development provide automatic masking for
correction.

ELECTROMAGNETIC SPECTRUM

茅he entire

range of wavelengths, extending from the shortest
to the longest or conversely, that can be generated
physically. This range of electromagnetic
wavelengths extends almost from zero to infinity
and includes the visible portion of the spectrum
known as light.

EMULSION (SILVER HALIDE)

耍 suspension of

light-sensitive silver salt, especially silver chloride

or silver bromide, in a colloidal medium, usually
gelatin, used for coating photographic film, plates,
or papers.

EMULSION SIDE

茅hat side of a (single coated)

photographic film on which the emulsion has been
coated

EMULSION SPEED

耍 comparative measure for a

given emulsion of exposure to light required to
produce a correctly exposed image.

ENLARGEMENT

耍 print made from a smaller

negative through a projection process.

ENLARGER

耍 photographic projection printer. (PIA)

EXHAUSTION

茅he state of depletion reached by a

processing solution due to age or use that makes it
incapable of producing satisfactory results. (PIA)

EXPIRATION DATE

耍 date placed on sensitized

photographic material packaged by the

manufacturers to limit the period during which it is

warranted to produce normal results.

EXPLODED VIEW

耍 photograph showing the

correct sequence and relationship of the various

parts of an assembly. Also called an exploded
photograph.

EXPOSURE

�(l) The act of exposing a light-sensitive

material to a light source. (2) A section of a film for
an individual exposure, as a roll containing six
exposures. (3) The time during which a sensitive
surface is exposed, as an exposure of 2 seconds.
(4) The product of light intensity and the time
during which it acts on a film, plate, or paper.

EXPOSURE INDEX

耍n exposure index is the rating

of a film for use in connection with exposure tables,
exposure computers, and exposure meters.

EXTENSION TUBE

耍 device used to increase the

lens-to-film distance for extreme closeup photog-
raphy.

FAHRENHEIT

耍 thermometer scale, on which, under

standard atmospheric pressure, the freezing point of
water is 32 degrees, and the boiling point of water
is 212 degrees; usually indicated as 32蚌 and 212蚌.
Fahrenheit temperatures may be converted to
Centigrade temperatures with the following
formula:

C = 5/9 (F - 32)

when C = Centigrade temperature and F = Fahren-

heit temperature. (PIA)

FAST

胄aving a high-photographic speed. The term

may be applied to a photographic process as a
whole, or it may refer to any element in such a
