  1. photographic density

    Photographic density is a measure of the degree to which light is absorbed or reflected by a photographic film or print. It refers to the darkness or blackness of an area in a photograph as produced by the deposition of silver in that area during the developing process. This density effectually controls the amount of light that can pass through a negative or positive image. The higher the photographic density, the darker the area. It's regarded as a means of quantifying the contrast within a photographic image.
