Definición y Significado de "underdevelopment"

What is "underdevelopment"?

Underdevelopment occurs when photographic film or paper is not left in the developer solution long enough. This results in an image that is too light or lacks sufficient contrast because the chemicals did not fully process the light-sensitive materials. As a result, the final photograph may appear washed out or lacking in detail, with important parts of the image not clearly visible.
