Scope Note: A negative image is a total inversion of a positive image, in which light areas appear dark and vice versa.

This sometimes can have a reverse effect and cause the greens to appear a reddish brown. When refering to photgraphy, this most likely is about the processed film strip that is called a "negative" - it is one of the phases of the processing step from image to photograph.
