From gelatin plus bromide (bromine compound). This technical term emerged in the 19th century as photographers experimented with different chemical coatings to improve photographic sensitivity and image quality.
Before digital cameras, photographers obsessed over gelatinobromide formulas the way we obsess over phone specs—each batch had slightly different light-sensitivity properties that could make or break a photograph!
