Answer

This sentence doesn't really make sense to me. It's just a guess but perhaps the word  is 'counteract' not contrast?  This would mean the silver ions would fight/overcome the formation of the imperfections.  I may be wrong but it seems to make more sense!

Answer

I agree with Tony. I think this is a mistake/misprint. 'Contrast the appearance' doesn't make any sense.

Answer

Here, it means that the silver ions (in what i'm assuming is a product) are basically cancelling out the imperfections. I hope that makes sense!
