WHAT DOES COLOUR FILM MEAN IN ENGLISH?

colour film

Color photography

Color photography is photography that uses media capable of reproducing colors, which are traditionally produced chemically during the photographic processing phase. By contrast, black-and-white photography records only a single channel of luminance and uses media capable only of showing shades of gray. In color photography, light-sensitive chemicals or electronic sensors record color information at the time of exposure. This is usually done by analyzing the spectrum of colors into three channels of information, one dominated by red, another by green and the third by blue, in imitation of the way the normal human eye senses color. The recorded information is then used to reproduce the original colors by mixing various proportions of red, green and blue light, or by using dyes or pigments to remove various proportions of the red, green and blue which are present in white light. Monochrome images which have been "colorized" by tinting selected areas by hand or mechanically or with the aid of a computer are "colored photographs," not "color photographs.
