Glossary Of Photography Terms

Clipping Clipping in photography refers to the loss of detail in the highlights or shadows of an image due to overexposure or underexposure, respectively. When a portion of an image is clipped, the image data reaches the maximum (in the case of highlights) or minimum (in the case of shadows) values that can be recorded by the camera sensor or displayed on a monitor.
Clipping results in areas of pure white (highlight clipping) or pure black (shadow clipping) with no visible detail or texture. While some degree of clipping may be acceptable depending on the creative intent of the photograph, excessive clipping can lead to loss of image information and reduced dynamic range. Photographers often use exposure compensation, histogram analysis, and graduated filters to minimize clipping and preserve detail in both highlights and shadows. |
