solarized

Light-reversed film effect

Solarized describes something exposed to sunlight, especially in photography where overexposure creates a distinctive effect—reversing tones so that light areas appear dark and vice versa.

The technique produces dreamlike, surreal images: The solarized portrait had an otherworldly quality.

In other contexts, solarized may simply mean sun-damaged or affected by solar radiation.
