Solarize Effect
-
Solarize is an effect option under Photoshop's Stylize Filter menu that allows you to equalize as well as invert the colors of an image. The Solarize effect is based on the "Sabatier" effect, which shows a photo's light area as dark, and vice versa (a sample image is shown in Figure 2).
Sabatier Effect
-
Sabatier effect is the term that describes a traditional wet darkroom method to achieve the solarization effect. This technique was discovered by a French photographer in 1862 and popularized by American photographer Man Ray in 1920. It happens when a partially developed photo is exposed to light, which makes it appear partly fogged. The fully developed photo will then show an inverted color effect on the exposed or partly fogged part.
