underdeveloped
a photographic film developed for less than the recommended time or in an exhausted developer solution.

 


weaken a developer and cause it to underdevelop and sometimes stain film. Too little agitation during mixing may cause the powdered chemicals to settle to the bottom of the mixer and form hard lumps.

Uneven development.
1) Film is lighter or underdeveloped along one side . Not enough developer to cover the film in the tank.
2) Negatives have denser areas mirroring the shape of the sprocket holes.

You have to use flash to lower the contrast or overexpose and underdeveloped (pull process) the film. With flash, make a double exposure; one of the original and the second of an out of focus gray card several stops less than the first exposure.

Agitation: If the film is placed in the developer and is left absolutely still, one gets underdeveloped negatives. This is because as the developer on the surface of the film acts on the film, it gets `tired'.

He would then underdevelop the negative according to highlight readings he took at the point of capture. In doing so, he brought back highlight detail.

They returned two rolls of B&W so underdeveloped that even the frame numbers were barely visible. When I complained, they said "it is obviously an exposure problem". I pointed out that my E6 of the same subject was perfectly exposed.

Chemical treatment for adding density to an underexposed or underdeveloped negative or print.

Thin
A negative that is underexposed or underdeveloped and therefore appears less dense than a normal negative. A thin neg will need a harder paper to print correctly.
(see Contrast, & Papergrade ) ...

A negative that is underexposed or underdeveloped (or both). A thin negative appears less dense than a normal negative.

Through-the-lens (TTL).

Thin Negative - A negative that is underexposed or underdeveloped (or both). A thin negative appears less dense than a normal negative.

Through-The-Lens Focusing - See "Single-Lens-Reflex (SLR) Camera." ...

Most images only require seconds worth of exposure, unless they are severely underdeveloped, then they could require up to 30 minutes at times.

PULLING FILM - Purposefully overexposing and underdeveloping film to reduce its effective film speed. (The opposite of "Push processing.") ...

A technique used to reduce subject contrast and film speed by overexposing and underdeveloping.

Push-processing ...

-Intensification - chemical method of increasing the density of the photographic image. It is only suitable for treating negative materials and works better on negatives that have been underdeveloped rather than underexposed.

it may have just not been in the develop long enough enough. You can usually spot the difference in that an underdeveloped print will be unevenly developed...and generally lack contrast. You may see swirls in the dark areas.

is no standard time or developer, thus every roll brought in has to be developed differently in a real B/W lab, and this is why even the expensive pro labs usually just process everything B/W the same way. Thus many films are over or underdeveloped, ...

speed of film, often to compensate for a mistake in setting ISO. It is usually done by decreasing the development time or the temperature of the developer. A technique used to reduce subject contrast and film speed by overexposing and underdeveloping.

Causes: faulty meters, readings, or interpretations, or the conviction that if a little light is good, a lot is better. Intentional, controlled overexposure, sometimes with underdevelopment, ...

Carlson tried to sell his invention to some companies, but, because the process was still underdeveloped, he failed.
