FILM EMULSION

The emulsion side of the film is the side coated with the photographic material. The base side of the film has no
photographic material and its surface is smooth and shiny. The emulsion side of slide film has raised areas at subject
contrast. The emulsion side of negative film is dull compared to the base side. It is easiest to determine the emulsion
side when viewing the film at an angle.

The frame numbers and text are backward when the film's emulsion side is up.
