What's the difference between glossy and suede photos?

1, glossy paper has high brightness and good reflectivity, but it is easy to get fingerprints and stick (such as plastic paper).

Textured paper (also called matt paper or matt paper) has a rough surface, so it has a good texture, dull surface, no reflection and is not easy to get fingerprints.

2, the clarity must be the best smooth, generally suitable for product photos or art photos, landscape photos. The smooth surface looks shiny, with high definition and slightly better image quality, but it is easy to stick fingerprints. Smooth ones need to be preserved with glue.

But suede is not as bright as glossy paper, and professional photographers prefer suede.

3. Smooth photos are suitable for expressing colorful and contrasting themes such as scenery and scenery, and the scenery is suitable for fluency. There is also a light selection surface, the border is smaller and the image is clearer.

Suede photos are soft, especially suitable for expressing characters. Portraits are suitable for suede.

4. If the smooth surface is bright in general life (the smooth surface is strong in color and layering). ), if you put it in a photo frame with glass in front or choose suede for a long time, it won't stick to the glass. Choose suede with a large border and a slightly rough image.

At the same time, because of the graininess on the surface of the masking paper, it may be better to wash the relatively blurred photos with masking paper, which has a long shelf life and is generally used for ordinary life photos.

Silk tissue paper

The surface of the silk surface is the effect of silk cloth, which is easier to preserve than suede, and can be well preserved without plastic packaging or cold mounting. The silk texture on the surface of silk paper presents the luster of silk under the light, which is gorgeous, delicate and three-dimensional

Silver salt photographic paper is a traditional photographic paper, which has certain wet strength, acid and alkali resistance, high stiffness and folding resistance. Paper is coated with photosensitive emulsion, and its image can be preserved for a long time after illumination and chemical development.

On the barium base paper made of high-quality photographic base paper, a coating made of barium sulfate and alum glue is evenly coated, then a photographic emulsion made of gelatin and silver halide is coated, and then a protective film is coated on the emulsion coating.

By changing the ratio of silver halide to gelatin in photographic emulsion, controlling curing conditions and adding sensitizing pigments, printing papers with different sensitivities were obtained. According to the different types of photosensitizers in the coating emulsion, it is divided into different types of printing paper.

For example, monochrome printing paper includes slow sensitive printing paper (mainly composed of silver chloride), bromine printing paper (mainly composed of silver bromide), chlorobromine printing paper (silver bromide and silver chloride) and so on. Color printing paper is made by coating three kinds of photochromic silver salt emulsions on base paper or barium base paper.

At present, the types of silver salt photographic paper on the market are:

1, glossy paper: high brightness, good reflectivity, but easy to get fingerprints, its clarity is the best, generally suitable for product photos, artistic photos, landscape photos.

2, textured paper: rough surface, no reflection, not easy to get fingerprints, long storage time, but lower transparency than glossy paper, softer, especially suitable for expressing characters.

3, silk paper: the surface is the effect of silk, the texture of silk, the luster of silk under the light, gorgeous and delicate, very stereoscopic.
