1889 R. Meldola Chem. of Photogr. vi. 219 The observation of Sabatier, that a collodion wet plate becomes reversed if, towards the end of development, day~light is suddenly admitted to the room, relates to cases of what may be called pseudo-solarisation.
1969 M. J. Langford Advanced Photogr. xi. 228 The effect discussed here, although described by photographers as solarisation, is the Sabattier effect or ‘pseudo-solarisation’. The effect is easily distinguished—the reversal of weakest densities, and the formation of a thin contour line around strong tone boundaries.
1972 Exper. Mechanics 12 423 A method is described for obtaining well~defined fringes..in photoelastic stress analysis. It is based on an edge effect which occurs during the pseudo-solarization of films during development.
1987 Camera Weekly 25 July 94/1 (advt.) Multi-colouring, pseudo solarization and many other effects..can now be produced quite simply, in dishes, in daylight.
