Term Details
Term: Halation
Subcategory: General
Definition: An effect that happens when an image’s bright regions bleed into the edges of the darker regions.  This happens when the light passes through the emulsion layer and reflects off the base of the film.  This exposes the emulsion on the side right next to it.  Some companies will make film that has a black anti-halation surface coat on its edge.
