film developing

Film developing is the process of turning exposed photographic film into visible images. It involves a series of chemical baths that react with the light-sensitive chemicals on the film. First, the film is placed in a developer solution, which reveals the hidden images. Next, it’s rinsed in a stop bath to halt the development process. After that, a fixer is used to remove any unexposed silver halides, making the images permanent. Finally, the film is washed to remove any leftover chemicals and allowed to dry, resulting in photographs ready for printing or scanning.
