negative film

A negative film is a type of photographic film that captures images in a reversed tone—light areas appear dark, and dark areas appear light. When exposed to light through a camera, it records an inverse version of the scene. Developing the film involves chemical processes that turn this negative into a positive image, which can then be printed or viewed. Negative films are widely used for printing photographs because they accurately capture tonal contrast and details of the original scene, making them suitable for producing multiple prints from a single negative.
