Negative
An image that has been created on a sheet or strip of film that is made of clear plastic. On black-and-white negative film, tones are recorded in the opposite order, whereas on color negative film, colors are recorded in the order of their complimentary colors. When printed on photographic paper, negatives are altered such that the resulting images are positive. In the year 1835, William Henry Fox Talbot used his calotype process to create the very first negative that was ever recorded on paper.
