A chemical compound made from gelatin combined with chlorine or chloride, used historically in photography and chemical formulations.
From gelatin plus chloride (chlorine compound). Like gelatinobromide, this term developed in 19th-century photography as scientists refined light-sensitive emulsions for capturing images.
Photographers had to choose between gelatinobromide and gelatinochloride based on subtle differences—bromide was faster (better for dim light) while chloride was slower but gave sharper images, kind of like choosing ISO settings today!
