Types of fims: There are two primary types of photographic film:
Print film, when developed, turns into a negative with the colors (or black and white values, in black and white film) inverted. This type of film must be "printed"—that is either enlarged by projecting through a lens, or placed in direct contact as light shines through it—onto photographic paper (which in turn is itself developed) in order to be viewed as intended. Print films are available in both black-and-white and color. Color print films use an orange color correction mask to correct for unwanted dye absorptions and improve color accuracy.
Color reversal film after development is called a transparency and can be viewed directly using a loupeprojector. Reversal film mounted with plastic or cardboard for projection is often called a slide. It is also often marketed as "slide" film. This type of film is often used to produce digital scans or color separations for mass-market printing. Photographic prints can be produced from reversal film, but the process is expensive and not as simple as that for print film. or
