color latitude


Recommended Posts

Various film stocks and sensors are capable of capturing a limited set of colors within the entire range of visible wavelengths. "Color latitude" could theoretically be narrowed by, for example, under-exposing by 2 stops or telling the lab to do bleach bypassing while processing your film.

I've seen the phrase "color latitude" pop up several times in various articles but I'm not sure what it means exactly. Could someone point me in the direction of an article or explanation please?

 

It probably means that the person who wrote it doesn't know the term "gamut".
