Techniques Glossary Push-processing
A technique used to increase contrast and film speed by underexposure and overdevelopment. Also known as uprating.

(See Push-processing)
Foreground
The area between the camera and the principal subject.

Push-Processing Refers to increasing the development time of film. Film is designed to be exposed at its rated ISO number, but if you choose to underexpose the film, push-processing will be required to achieve acceptable results.

It's usually simpler to push a film, and in the push-processing department, I've found Tri-X to be hands and feet over TMAX400, which I've also tried. I am doing experiments with Neopan, so I'll get back to you on that.

Forced Development (See Push-processing)
Foreground The area between the camera and the principal subject.
Frame One individual picture on a roll of film. Also, tree branch, arch, etc., that frames a subject.

FORCED DEVELOPMENT - Another term for "Push-processing" - increasing development time of a film to "force" an increase in its effective speed.
FOREGROUND - The area of a scene that is closer than the subject.

Forced Development - See "Push-processing."

Foreground - The area between the camera and the principal subject.

forced development
increasing the development of film to increase its effective speed (raising the ASA number for initial exposure), to compensate for low-light situations; also called push-processing.
