A film or photography process that produces colors through a complex chemical interaction, possibly an obsolete photographic technique.
From Greek 'enallaxis' (exchange or alteration) plus 'chroma' (color). The word suggests a color-producing method based on chemical exchange.
This word is a linguistic artifact from early photography—it shows how photographers and chemists invented technical terms by combining Greek roots to describe processes we might now explain in simpler ways.
