Correct
Exposure
Why
do we have to expose the film or CCD sensor correctly? - Working with Negative
film
When a film is under or over exposed and then processed normally, the
negative becomes hard to print. This is because the optimum density of
the negative which ideally contains a dynamic tonal scale is only produced
when the film has been exposed correctly and correctly developed.

adequate contrast |
Thick or over exposed negative - Loses
information in the highlights and gains contrast. |
Correctly exposed negative - rich texture
in the mid tones |
