What mistakes should you avoid?

English speakers often mistakenly use revelación when they mean 'revelation' in a photographic sense. However, in Spanish, the correct term for developing film is revelado.

Did you know?

  • The Spanish language distinguishes between revelar as 'uncovering a truth' and revelarse as 'rising up' against authority.
  • If a Spanish speaker describes a person as a revelación, they mean the person is a surprise success or a 'rising star' in their field.
