photographic printing

Photographic printing is the process of creating physical images from photographic negatives or digital files. It involves projecting light through the negative or digital image onto light-sensitive paper or a digital printer. Chemical processes develop the image by turning exposed areas into visible tones, producing a final print that accurately reflects the original photograph's colors and detail. Advances now include digital printing methods, which directly produce high-quality images without traditional chemicals. Overall, photographic printing transforms electronic or negative images into tangible, durable prints suitable for display or collection.
