Solarization Explained.
"Frilling" is the loosening of the
emulsion from the edges of the
film or paper and is caused by
washing in water that is too warm.
In the processing of both prints
and negatives, great care should
be exercised to insure that tenn
peratures of the solutions are
constant and the same. Recon-
mendations of the film or paper
manufacturer should be needed
for the best results.
If the temperatures of solutions
vary, "reticulation" may take
place. This is the appearance Of
a fine network of lines that eX-
tends over the entire surface OF

raphers deliberately reticulate
negatives to secure this effect.

larization" will result. When this
happens there is a partial reversal
of the image with dark lines
around principal tone areas show
ing up in prints made from the
negative. This is another effect
that is sometimes sought by the
photographer who wishes to pro-
duce something out of the ordi-
nary. Neither solarization nor
reticulation should be attempted
with valuable negatives until you
have become skilled in the pro-
cedures.
