relating to photography or photos
About the work, tools, or process of making photos.
Vzorec užití:
photographic [noun]
Častá chyba:
Learners sometimes confuse 'photographic' with 'photogenic'. 'Photographic' usually describes things related to making photos (photographic equipment, photographic paper), while 'photogenic' describes people or things that look good in photos. Another mistake is using the incorrect form *'photographical'*; the correct adjective is 'photographic'.
Synonyma
photo (Often used before a noun in a similar way, as in 'photo studio', but is less formal and slightly less general than 'photographic'.)
Antonyma
non-photographic (Describes materials, media, or processes that do not involve photography at all.)

having extremely exact memory
Having a very strong memory that keeps pictures and details in the mind like photos.
Vzorec užití:
photographic [noun]
Častá chyba:
Learners sometimes say *'He is photographic'* to mean he has an excellent memory, but this sounds wrong. You should say 'He has a photographic memory' or 'Her memory is almost photographic.' Another confusion is thinking 'photographic memory' is always literal, like a camera; in everyday speech it is often used loosely to mean 'very, very good memory.'
Synonyma
eidetic (A more technical and much less common term, mainly used in psychology, with a similar meaning of extremely detailed visual memory.)
Antonyma
poor memory (Describes someone who forgets things easily, the opposite of having a very exact, detailed memory.)
