Silver Gelatin is a project I decided to take on to hone my programming skills, and at the same time, share my love of photography with others. It has simply begun as a small side project, but I hope it can grow to be a reputable presence on the web.

I have quite a bit of experience with SilverFast as a scanning application. SilverFast has been a dominant aftermarket scanning application for years, particularly for high end scanning devices.

Silver halides
Techniques Glossary Silver halides
The light sensitive ingredient in photographic film and papers that is a combination of silver with bromine, fluorine, chlorine or iodine.

Silver Linings
The Sabatier border line, frequently observed in solarizations, probably owes its appeal to the fact that the viewer is reminded of many beautiful border effects found in nature. Everybody has been awed by silver linings on clouds.

Silver halide:
Crystals suspended in gelatin that comprise the active part of film emulsions. When struck by light (of light of a sufficient intensity) they are exposed, changing them to silver.

Silver halide-The silver crystals that make up an image on a negative or print. When exposed to light, they create an image. Those that are not exposed are washed off, leaving either a negative (film) or positive (print) image.

Silver print: A term encompassing all photographic prints made on a paper sensitized with silver salts. Most black and white prints are in this category.

Silver mode dial
I personally don't like this, it detracts from the rest of the camera and simply looks odd. I suppose it makes the D60 easier to recognize from a distance (?).

Silver detail around front edge of lens zoom ring; silk-screening on left of camera reads "DiMAGE A1 5.0 MEGA PIXELS"; badge on the front of the camera reads "AS ANTI-SHAKE".

Silver print
A generic term referring to all prints made on paper coated with silver salts. Most contemporary black and white photographs are silver prints.

Silver.
A metallic element with the chemical symbol Ag.
Silver halides, which are compounds of silver and halogen gases such as iodine and bromine, are photosensitive - they react to light.

silver bromide
a pale yellow crystalline compound that turns black on exposure to light used as light sensitive component in photographic film.
silver chloride
a white granular powder that turns dark on exposure to light.

Silver Pixels - An Introduction to the Digital Darkroom

My first book dedicated to the topic of the digital darkroom and quite frankly I wasn't particularly impressed with the overall quality of the book and its contents.

Silver salts - compounds of silver.
Simultaneous contrast - effect that adjacent color hues have upon each other.

Silver Lining Revealed!
A day graced with light cloud cover is undoubtedly my favorite time for photographing the pastel colors of an Appalachian spring. The gray clouds serve as a giant diffuser, creating an even dispersion to the light.

The silver lining of studio umbrellas is highly reflective and will bounce the flash light into your scene. The light is scattered, creating a soft and even effect.

The silver bounce has created a clean fill without changing the color, but the quality of the fill has more spark than the white, increasing the lighting contrast of this shot.

The Silver Lining: One piece of good news is that newer D-SLRs have incredible battery life with reliable Li-Ion batteries.

-Non-silver processes are image making processes that do not require the use of metallic silver, such as Gum bichromate.

Grain
Silver particles that remain on the film after processing to form an image. Usually, the faster the film, the coarser the grain, the less the Definition.

Silver salts - compounds of silver.
Simultaneous contrast - effect that adjacent color hues have upon each other.

Although silver-halide and thermal printers require special papers, inkjets will print on almost any surface.

With the camera on the tripod, set the exposure to around f/5.

Unlike a silver halide film-based picture where it is of the utmost importance that the picture is properly exposed in the camera, a digital picture is made up of digital pixels that can be manipulated after the fact by an image editing software.

Curves in SilverFast
There are those though who decry the use of Curves as an abomination, claiming that they produce unnatural effects by altering the relative lightness values within an image.

While the Silver fabric helped us out with the brightness of the fill, we felt that tone could be a little warmer. So next, we replaced the Silver fabric with the Soft Gold fabric, which is a zigzag combination of Silver and Gold fabric.

As to the silver stuff -- back when the Hunt bros. were jacking silver to the moon, I had a camera shop/studio, and decided to do some small scale silver recovery.

developer Chemical solution containing a developing agent, as well as other constituents, which acts on exposed silver halide crystals in the photographics emuslion to produce a metallic silver image.

Monochrome printing (mainly black and white) is commonly done using silver-based materials, such as are found in most ordinary photographic printing papers, to make paper photo-sensitive. They have an inherent impermanence.

"The photographic enthusiast likes to lure us into a darkened room in order to display his slides on a silver screen.

Development changes the silver in the emulsion to metallic grains, the faster the film the larger the grains. Development controls contrast. Film speed Is not affected by development.

Using a mirror polished with silver halide, a daguerreotype uses either iodine, bromine or chlorine vapors to render an image on the silver plate.

Bleaching: Chemical used in processing to convert black silver image into colorless compound such as silver halide.
Bounced flash: Flash illumination reflected from a ceiling or wall being diffused.

If either set are silver halide prints, then Ritz's developing solution is way off. Comparing the two sets of prints, we found the white balance was not particularly good on the digital.

This is a "half-silvered" prism or a mirror which can either split light, by reflecting some and allowing the rest to go straight through, or (in a rangefinder) used in reverse to combine views.

Bleach
A chemical bath to convert the black metallic silver that forms a photographic image into a compound such as a silver halide, which can then be dissolved or dyed. Bleach is used in toning and in many colour processes.

Grain. The particles of silver that make up a photographic image.
Grainy. Describes an image that has a speckled look due to particles of silver clumping together.

Fixing: Chemical action following development to remove unexposed silver halides, to make the image stable and insensitive to further exposure.

Fixing Bath A solution that removes any light-sensitive silver-halide crystals not acted upon by light or developer, leaving a black-and-white negative or print unalterable by further action of light. Also referred to as hypo.

What can you do? Well, there's no silver bullet to solve all of your horizon line problems, but you can make improvements by keeping a few things in mind.

Fixing Bath - A solution that removes light-sensitive silver-halide crystals from a negative or print so that the image is fixed (cannot be changed by further exposure). Also referred to as hypo.

Turn the resistor so the gold or silver stripe is at the right end of the resistor.
The first two stripes on the left correspond to the first two digits of the resistance value.
The third stripe from the left corresponds to a multiplication value.

Sometimes we want shadows in our photos but we don't want quite as much shadow as the lighting conditions are giving us. White, silver, and gold reflectors bounce light into the shadows and can lighten up an area by as much as a complete stop.

There's often a dramatic difference in longevity between one brand and another. Pay attention to the type of dyes used (blue, gold, silver, etc), to online accelerated aging tests, and to reports of issues with a particular model/batch.
