1) (adjective) Describing an artwork, artwork master, or production master in which the intended conductive pattern is transparent to light, and the areas to be free from conductive material are opaque. 2) (noun) A reverse-image contact copy of a positive, useful for checking revisions of a PCB. If the negative of the current version is superimposed over a positive of an earlier version, all areas will be solid black except where changes have been made.
A photographic plate or film where the image's color, black and white, or continuous tone areas are reversed from the original (e.g., black is white, white is black). Reference, positive.
An image where the tones (recorded brightness values) and, with color film, the colors are reverse of those in the scene. When printed, the negative becomes "positive."
A film which reverses the white and black areas of the original image
Film containing an image in which the areas of the original which were light are now dark and the areas which were dark are now clear; this is necessary for preparing plates for offset printing.
Film that produces an image with brightness levels opposite of the actual scene (black is white, etc.) and must be printed to produce a positive image.
the reversal of all values of a film or image.
the image produced by on a photographic emulsion by the product of exposure and development.
The term "negative" is used to designate any of the following (in either black-and-white or color): (1) The raw stock specifically designed for negative images. (2) the negative image. (3) Negative raw stock that has been exposed but has not been processed. (4) Processed film bearing a negative image.
Film that has been exposed and developed. Light is projected through the negative to create the finished print.
The mold surface that contains the reverse 3D imprint of a positive sculpture.
Film that contains the same images as the original print, except that all colors and shades are reversed. See also positive.
Film or paper with the light areas reversed to dark and the dark areas reversed to light. Negatives are usually produced on film for direct plating at a print shop.
in film production, negative is used to describe raw stock designed to produce negative images; or stock which has been exposed and processed that bears a negative image. A positive print or inter-negative can be struck from the original negative, or it can simply be transferred directly to tape.
Film on which the image is opposite in tone to the actual image. A dark area on a negative prints light and a light area prints dark.
NPV tie-in project A negative-NPV infrastructure development project that a local government requires of a company engaged in a positive NPV investment project elsewhere in the country.
Characteristic of an image on film or paper in which blacks in the original subject are white or clear and whites in the original are black or opaque. Also, piece of film on which negative image appears.
A Negative is an exact opposite of a Positive image. White becomes black and black becomes white.
A digital video effect that inverts the image RGB levels (effectively by subtracting them from Reference White level) so that it appears as photographic film negative. This effect may could be combined with complete de-saturation of the image.
see positive and negative.
an original copy to be used as a model for the coin printer
Film coated with a light sensitive emulsion that after exposure and processing produces the images taken with the camera in complementary values. (Slide)
In the offset printing process, the camera copy, a positive, is transformed into an image on a printing plate through the intermediate step of photographically producing a negative. (The original image is reversed–the black areas will be white and the white areas will be black.)
Photographic film that as been exposed to light used to prepare for final prints; tonal values are reversed.
Film with images where light areas show dark, and dark areas appear light.
The image recorded in opposed by film emulsion called a 'neg'. Negs are printed onto photographic paper to produce a positive printed image or photograph.
a piece of photographic film showing an image with black and white tones reversed
reckoned in a direction opposite to that regarded as positive
designed or tending to discredit, especially without positive or helpful suggestions; "negative criticism"
a photographic image on film, plate or paper in which the subject tones to which the emulsion is sensitive are reversed or complementary
a piece of film that is used to make printing plates and some kinds of proofs
a reverse image of the picture you took
A negative contains an image made by an exposure and development, in which tones are reversed so that highlights appear dark and shadows appear light.
An image in which the light areas of an object appear dark, and the dark areas appear light.
A photographic image where the light parts of the subject are recorded as dark tones and vice versa.
Film containing a reversed image of the image you are going to print. This film is positioned on the printing plate and the image is then burned into the plate through a special light source in a contact frame that assures proper register between the film and the plate. At BOPI we use a totally digital workflow, including CTP that eliminates the need for any film.
A photographic image or the film containing it, that shows black and white tones reversed and colors as complementary. It is used to make prints. A negative is a rectangle of plastic translucent material coated with chemicals that, upon exposure, records an image. This process occurs inside a camera. The resulting negative needs to undergo developing in order to be made insensitive to light.
In black and white the tones are in reverse to those of the original subject, in colour negatives the original tones are reproduced as their complementary colours. Producing a photographic negative is often the first stage in the making of a positive print, and is a unique article from which many prints can be made.
Photographic image of the original on film where the darks and lights are reversed.
A piece of film on which the image of the original copy is reversed - the dark areas are white and the clear areas are black.
Film originally shot in a camera and processed as a negative image.
A reverse photographic image on paper or film; the opposite of a positive.
A photographic image of artwork that is represented in reverse. Negatives are used to make printing plates.
Relating to or denoting an ion, the anion, that is attracted to a positive electrode.
Generally speaking, a reversed photographic image produced on acetate-based film or photosensitive, resin coated paper.
A generic term used in this instance for an image made in camera by means of any photographic process, when that process was not listed in the exhibition catalogue. Exhibits created using this process
Photographic image on film where dark colors are transparent and light colors are opaque.
Film containing an image in which the values of the original are reversed so that black areas appear white.
Film that exposes a negative image. A lab processes the negative, exposes a positive "work print" of it, and processes that work print. The advantage of shooting negative stock, as oppposed to reversal stock, is that the negative remains untouched while you cut your workprint. When you have finished editing your workprint, you then go back to the negative and, wearing cotton gloves, cut it to match your edited workprint. Once your negative is cut you can make answer prints of your film for distribution.
a smaller version of a photograph in which the lights and darks are switched.
A film image on which the areas that were dark on the original copy are light and vice versa.
A photographic film image (or print) in which values are reversed.
When working with film, the clear areas of a film negative will be printed and the black areas of a film negative will not be printed; similar to a photograph negative. The opposite of a film positive.
A reversed or inverted image in which shadows and dark areas of the photograph appear light, and light areas appear dark. Also refers to photographic film used to make prints.
The original film that is used in the camera from which a positive print is made for editing purposes.
(1) A photographic image on film, plate, or paper, in which the tones are reversed. (2) A film, plate, or paper containing such a reversed image.
Photographic film, prepared either from the desktop publishing file or by photographing the mechanical, used to create a printing plate that will be mounted on a press for printing.
A sheet of transparent film coated with silver salts which react when exposed to light (usually in a camera). In black and white negatives, one layer of salts reacts to white light (the full spectrum of light). The result is a reversal of normal vision: the shadows are light, the highlights dark. In color negatives there are normally three layers, each reacting to either red, green and blue light.
In photography, film containing an image in which the values of the original are reversed so that the dark areas in the subject appear light on the film and vice versa.
The image on film that makes the white areas of originals black and black areas white.
A photographic image with reversed polarity or, if colored, complementary tonal values to those of the original.
Photographic film in which the dark areas of the images or text appear light and the light areas appear dark. Used to make printing plates.
Reproduction of an image with opposite density values of the original. For example, white areas appear black and black areas appear white. Most generally used on film for printing processes.
a photographic film or paper in which all the dark areas appear light and vice-versa and used in the reproduction process. It is made either direct from the artwork or from a positive.
A reverse of an image created when processing film. Dark areas will appear light and light areas will appear dark.
An image formed of lines and symbols which allow the passage of light on a background which is opaque to light.
A photographic image on which tones and colours appear the opposite of the original scene.
Film that has been exposed and processed to fix a reverse tone or image.
a reversed light/dark image formed on film that may be used to make prints; the tones are the reverse of the original subject, but during the printing process they are reversed back to normal appearance
Film or paper reproduction in which blacks and whites are reversed.
In photography, film containing an image in which values of the original are reversed so that the dark areas appear light and vice versa. In lithography; a film containing type or halftones in which the values are reversed, whites are black and blacks are clear film.
Film containing an image in which the values of the original are reversed, so the dark areas appear light and the light areas dark. to top
A reverse image in which shadows and dark areas of the photograph appear light, and in which light areas appear dark.
The developed film that contains a reversed tone image of the original scene.
a photographic image of an original copy in reverse from that of the original copy with a normal orientation.
In photography, films containing an image in which the values of the original are reversed so that the dark areas appear light a vice versa. (See positive).
In photography, film with an image having density values opposite those of the original.
The mold surface which contains a reverse three dimensional imprint of the positive sculpture.
A photographic image in which the values of the original copy are reversed, so that the dark areas appear light and vice versa.
An image with inverted densities. Since gravure is a positive method, a negative image is the most natural starting point for the process. The quality of the original negative is preserved best when the intermediate steps in making the continuous-tone image positive are reduced to a minimum.
Photographic image on film in which black values in the original subject are transparent, white values are opaque, light grays are dark, and dark grays are light.
A photographic image in which the values of light and shade of the original photographed subject are represented in inverse order. In a negative image, light objects (of the original subject) are represented by high densities and dull objects are represented by their complementary color, e.g.a red flower will look green.A negative usually refers to the camera original.
A photographic image of originals on film in reverse from that of the original copy. Dark areas appear light and vice versa.
A processed piece of film where the image is reversed so that the shadows are light and the highlights are dark.
Used to make the print, it's the visible form a picture takes after the film is processed. A negative's tones and (with color print film) colors are the opposite of what they were in the subject, but printing reverses them back to their original state.
Original film exposed in the camera.
The term used to describe the reverse of the visual photographic image.
1. Photographic image in which the areas of light and shade are the reverse of their appearance in the original. 2. The image on film in which the dark tones of the original appear transparent, and the light tones appear black and opaque.
Film in which the dark areas of the images or text appear light and the light areas of the images or text appear dark.
Film containing a reversal of an image, such that the values of the original are reversed with light becoming dark, and vice versa.
