French translation of halation is 
halation

Meaning of "halation" in English

Halation refers to a phenomenon often encountered in photography, where a glowing effect appears around bright lights or objects in an image. This occurs when light from a strong highlight spreads into surrounding areas, typically due to reflection within the camera lens or the surface of the film. This can lead to a halo-like aura that obscures details and reduces contrast. In broader contexts, the term can also metaphorically describe any similar halo effect that surrounds bright sources in visual contexts, highlighting contrast and exposure issues.

Meaning of "halation" in French

In French, "halation" refers to the same photographic effect as in English, where a bright light creates a halo around itself, affecting image clarity. The term is used similarly to describe the diffusion of light beyond its usual boundaries in a photograph or film, leading to areas of less contrast and detail. This can occur due to reflections or scattering within optical systems like lenses. As in English, "halation" can also metaphorically apply to the visual spreading of any bright light source.
