Area rapidly increasing density

21
Q

Carries a very large amount of information

A

Straight line portion

22
Q

Straight line portion parts

A

True gamma
Average gradient
Latitude
Speed

23
Q

Where first reaction to exposure begins to falls off

24
Max density which can be reached on the film
Max density
25
Caused by the silver halide grain not being absorbed
Region solarization
26
Equal to the slope of the straight line portion
Gamma
27
True value of average contrast available on the film
Average gradient
28
Useful exposure range of the film
Latitude
29
Range of exposure value drawn from the intercepts of 2 net densities
Latitude
30
Latitude is linked to the
Average gradient
31
Defined by ANST, exposure required to produce a net densities
Speed
32
Means that one film os 100% higher in speed than other (separation of log)
