Continuous tone

A continuous tone image (contone for short, or CT even shorter) is one where each color at any point in the image is reproduced as a single tone, and not as discrete halftones, such as one single color for monochromatic prints, or a combination of halftones for color prints.

See Photogravure and Continuous tone

Daguerreotype

Daguerreotype (daguerréotype) was the first publicly available photographic process, widely used during the 1840s and 1850s. Photogravure and Daguerreotype are photographic processes dating from the 19th century.
