Push processing and Pull processing

Push-processing involves over-development of film to increase the effective speed and density of underexposed images on color-negative and black-and-white films.
Push processing film is done to compensate for film that has been underexposed and results in a denser negative.

On color-reversal films (slides), push-processing on underexposed images decreases the density range. X-ray exposure has the potential to degrade the quality of images that will be push processed

Pull processing film is done to compensate for film that has been overexposed and results in a less dense negative.
