continuous tone
Definition
Image in which colors and shades of gray smoothly merge into the neighboring colors or shades, instead of producing distinct, sharply-outlined areas of color or shade. Camera-film photographs are continuous tone images but the digital photographs are not. Almost all printing processes (except the Iris system and dye sublimation technology) are non-continuous tone. Also called contone.
