English term or phrase: halation
Definition from Neenah Paper, Inc.:
In photography, a blurred effect, resembling a halo, usually occurring in the highlight areas or around bright objects.

Example sentence(s):
  • Use your wide-open CA test shot, and examine the branches. If they have a translucent look, it’s probably due to halation. Colours Magazine
  • Halation creates secondary ghost images in the film, which to photographers is bad because they are a by-product of unintentional light and film interaction. anbstudio
  • To combat halation, film manufacturers treat the base of the film to reduce or nullify reflections. Grey base is a film base permanently dyed a low density grey colour, this reduces reflection back into the emulsion and light-piping within the base. National Film and Sound Archive

halo


Definition from Den Store Danske:
halo, (via lat. fra gr. halos 'kredsformet tærskeplads, runding'), i fotografisk sammenhæng det tab af kontrast, der opstår ved belysning af en film, når lys spredes fra en lysere del af motivet til en mørkere. Det samme fænomen optræder ved kopiering af negativet i forstørrelsesapparat. Halo dannes dels ved refleksion i selve emulsionen, dels ved refleksion fra den base, emulsionen er gydet på. Det modvirkes gennem emulsionens opbygning og med specielle antihaleringslag.

Example sentence(s):
  • En Halo er en ring af lys omkring et objekt - Wikipedia  

Explanation:
I tv-sprog bruges 'halation' direkte uden oversættelse, mens andre fotografer taler om 'halo' eller 'haloeffekt'.
