A thermometer used in Europe, but little in America. A space between freezing and boiling point is divided into one hundred parts, the former being marked at zero, while the latter point is one hundred degrees. To convert Centigrade to Fahrenheit (the latter being used in America) it is necessary to multiply by 9, divide by 5, and add 32.
The standard measure of temperature in the United States. The freezing point is 32 degrees. The boiling point of water 212 degrees, which leaves 180 degrees between these two points. In the Centigrade thermometer (See Thermometer, Centigrade) this space is divided into 100 degrees. To reduce Fahrenheit degrees to Centigrade, subtract 32, multiply by 5, and divide by 9.
A thermometer scale in which the freezing point is marked o° and the boiling point 8o°. To reduce Reaumur degrees to Fahrenheit, multiply by 9, divide by 4, and add 32. To reduce Reaumur degrees to Centigrade, multiply by 5 and divide by 4.

An exposure which is not instantaneous.
The different degrees of light and shade in a picture. When the various colors in the subject have been truthfully rendered in monochrome in the photograph, and the effect of distance and atmosphere is natural, the photograph is said to have correct tonal values.
The surface color of a finished print.
A solution employed to change the color of a print by depositing a thin coating of gold or platinum over the image. There are various kinds of toning baths for different kinds of paper.
A bath for toning prints, in which the toning and fixing solutions are combined.
