Information About

Push Processing




By push processing film, a higher s such as higher contrast, lower resolution, distorted colours, objectionable grain, etc. are often visible on film that has been push processed. Often, film is push processed to create these artifacts as part of an artistic effect. When a film has been push or pull processed, the resulting speed is called the EI, or Exposure Index ; the film's ISO speed is always the manufacturer's indication. For example, an ISO 200 film could be push processed to EI 400 or pull processed to EI 100.

Push processing is more popular than pull processing as photographers usually want to make a film faster, not slower. As such, the term push processing is sometimes used as a generic term for both push processing and pull processing.
