[Said of] a photographic material that reverses the tones in an image. 3, record 7, English, - negative
Record number: 7, Textual support number: 1 CONT
Conventional photographic materials are negative working because light-sensitive compounds usually darken or increase in visual density with increasing exposure to light. Therefore, a negative-working camera film reverses the tones of the original scene, and a companion negative-working print material reverses the tones again, back to their normal or positive, relationship. 3, record 7, English, - negative
