To eliminate or minimize this effect, called halation, most films incorporate a light-absorbing dye in the backing layer (...) Portrait films have an antihalation backing into which a retouching surface is incorporated. The backing makes it possible to use a retouching pencil on the film. 4, record 1, English, - antihalation%20backing
