Scope note
In photography, refers to the usually unintended optical effect caused by reflected light at the time of initial film exposure, or the resulting halo surrounding the boundaries of light-emitting or reflecting sources in the image printed from this film. Modern photographic films are coated with an 'anti-halation layer' to prevent this effect.
