Silver halide photography

  • Chapter
Chemistry and Technology of Printing and Imaging Systems

Abstract

A short introduction to the history of silver halide photography from early portraiting and documentary imaging to the latest development of Photo CD and digital printing systems may be justified by the need to demonstrate the major challenges, problems and ideas in classical silver halide photography and to present new options for the electronic age.
