This step, basics of film developing, is very important that can make a person.
After knowing how to use the camera and how.
to take the pictures, the next step is learning how to develop the film.
Although the person has a good negative; but a person doesn't have a good.
develop's skill ,or doesn't know the right way about developing, how can that.
person makes a good picture. He/she should know how to develop film and.
how to roll the film. Basic things about how to develop the film are listed in.
the book entitled, INTRODUCTORY & PUBLICATIONS PHOTOGRAPHY.
written by Dr.C. Wm. Horrell and Robert A.Steffes. That is.
1. Turn off all the lights in the darkroom and unwind the film. (Roll.
film, except 35 mm, must be separated from the protective paper). And then.
unroll the paper until the end of the film is reached which is not attached to.
the paper and will, therefore, form its own roll when separated.
2. Unroll until the other end is reached, which is attached to the paper.
by tape. Tear film gently from the paper when loading the film onto a reel or.
into a plastic apron.
3. At this point, handle film by the edges to avoid fingerprints on the.
film's picture area.
4. Fingerprints inflicted by pressure or moist fingers may show up on.
the negative and in the finished print.
5. To remove the film from a 35 mm cartridge, pop off the retaining.
ring with a bottle opener, allowing the roll to be removed.
6. The film is now loaded on a reel. This procedure is the best learned.
by practicing with a film provided for this purpose, or an uncut, discarded.
strip of negetive. Cut the leader of 35mm film square with scissors before.
loading.
7. Some tanks use plastic aprons instead of reels.
8. With the reel or plastic apron now placed in the tank, and the cover.
secure, turn on the lights and proceed to develop the film. needed chemicals.
and equipment are pictured below.
9. Determine the temperature of the developer, then in turn determine.
the time in minutes necessary to develop the film using a time-temperature.
