Darkroom Developing

Steps To Developing Film:

1.) Pour Water (Clear): Water allows the developer to work better. Agitate to make spread to all of the film (like hot chocolate). Make sure to tap the cylinder to avoid bubbles.

2.) Empty the water, be sure to hold onto the lid just incase it is not secured.

3.) Pour Developer (Black): 10 minutes agitating every 30 seconds. This develops the film and agitating makes sure to develop all the film and make sure to tap the cylinder.

4.) Pour the Developer back into the black container because it will crystallize. Be sure to hold onto the lid when pouring out.

5.) Pour Stop (Blue): Stop is just water and it stops the film from developing. Agitate to avoid bubbles.

6.)Empty the stop, be sure to hold onto the lid when emptying.

7.) Pour Fix (Red): Red brings clarity to the film and gets rid of any white dots on the film. Agitate for 7 minutes every minute.

8.) Pour fix into the red container ( it will crystallize!)

9.) Put the film in sink and rinse

10) Rinse equipment because it will crystallize because of developer and fix!
