Film Characteristics
The various film types have distinctly different characteristics. Exposure latitude, for
example, is not the same for negative and positive films. Negative films provide greater
latitude because the exposure can be adjusted when prints are made. Positive films
require greater precision when a picture is taken. In addition, positive film can produce
a starker contrast between shadows and highlights without producing sepia tones.
