Types of Photographic Papers

Photographic papers fall into one of three sub-categories:

  • Papers used for negative-positive processes. This includes all current black-and-white papers and chromogenic color papers.
  • Papers used for positive-positive processes in which the "film" is the same as the final image (e.g., the Polaroid process).
  • Papers used for positive-positive film-to-paper processes where a positive image is enlarged and copied onto a photographic paper, for example the Ilfochrome process.

Famous quotes containing the words types of, types, photographic and/or papers:

    “Science is intimately integrated with the whole social structure and cultural tradition. They mutually support one other—only in certain types of society can science flourish, and conversely without a continuous and healthy development and application of science such a society cannot function properly.”
    —Talcott Parsons (1902–1979)

    “As for types like my own, obscurely motivated by the conviction that our existence was worthless if we didn’t make a turning point of it, we were assigned to the humanities, to poetry, philosophy, painting—the nursery games of humankind, which had to be left behind when the age of science began. The humanities would be called upon to choose a wallpaper for the crypt, as the end drew near.”
    —Saul Bellow (b. 1915)

    “... the most grandiose result of the photographic enterprise is to give us the sense that we can hold the whole world in our heads—as an anthology of images.”
    —Susan Sontag (b. 1933)

    “I see by the papers that you have once more stirred that pool of intellectual stagnation, the educational convention.”
    —Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815–1902)
