Wikipedia

  1. solarise

    The Sabatier effect, also known as pseudo-solarization (or pseudo-solarisation) and erroneously referred to as the Sabattier effect, is a phenomenon in photography in which the image recorded on a negative or on a photographic print is wholly or partially reversed in tone. Dark areas appear light or light areas appear dark. Solarization and pseudo-solarization are quite distinct effects. Over time, the "pseudo" has been dropped in many photographic darkroom circles and discussions, but the effect that is meant is the Sabattier effect and not the solarization by extreme overexposure (see below).

  1. solarise

    Solarise refers to the process in photography whereby the image recorded is wholly or partially reversed in tone. This technique creates a unique visual effect in photos, for instance, turning dark areas into light and vice versa, often creating a silhouette effect. This is typically achieved by exposing an undeveloped piece of film or photographic print to light before finalizing the development process. It is also known as the Sabattier effect.
