Sabatier Effect
The Sabatier Effect refers to the phenomenon in which light areas appear dark and dark areas appear light on a negative. Additionally, a thin line appears in areas where the image has contrasting tones. When this effect occurs on a printed photo, it is known as solarisation.
While the Sabatier effect occurs when the film has been overexposed, solarisation takes place in the darkroom. However, contemporary terminology uses the terms interchangeably, rarely making the distinction between the sabatier effect and solarisation.
The Sabatier effect was accidentally developed during the 1800s when a photographic plate was inadvertently exposed to light before it had been processed, possible because the darkroom light had been turned on. Later, Man Ray popularized the Sabatier effect through his artwork.
Today, photographers can simulate the Sabatier effect by using an actinic light during the development process. However, while the Sabatier effect can produce dramatically intense photos, it is a difficult technique to master and consistently produce.
