During the Winter months pho
Geographic activities rather natur-
ally move into the darkroom. Neg
|atives that were exposed in more
element weather are culled over
land new and better prints made
$50, in the next few weeks, we viii
use much Of our allotted space for
la discussion of negative and print
processing.
There is still some doubt as to-
which came first-the chicken or
the egg: but in photography there
lis no similar question. We must
have negative before we can
make print. After a days shoot
ing you do not wind up with q
roll of negatives in your camera.
What you really have at that
stage Of the game is only a roll
Iof exposed film which contains a
number Of latent or invisible pho
Geographic images.
The only way we can see these
images Is by means Of photo
graphic development. This proc
ess consists of immersing the ex-
posed film in a liquid chemical re-
iagent which brings out the pic
lture." The developing solution
simply disposes Of that part OF
1.-THE Photographic film emulsion
that was not affected by light
when you exposed the film. That
part which is left-the exposed
silver halides- forms the Mega
tive Photographic image that we
see on the film. This image is a
complete reversal Of the original
ltone values Of the subject Of your
picture with white appearing as
Iblack, black as white, and the in
ltermediate tones proportionately
reversed. When we make prints
from this negative the tones are
reversed again to give us posi-
tive image with the identical tone
values Of the original subject.
Methods Of Development.
! There are two primary methods
for developing films to produce
negatives. When only a few cut
films are to be processed at time,
they are often developed in shall
low rubber, enamel, glass or STAIN
less steel trays. Large numbers OF
tcut films are better handled in
specially made developing tanks
usually made of hard rubber. In
recent years many small process
ling tanks have been designed for
easy handling Of roll film with one
roll being processed at a time. al
Though it is possible to process
roll film in a shallow tray.
i Let's tackle tray development
first. Most beginners start out by
making prints from negatives
IproceSSed by a photo-f1nisher-
then take the plunge and risk
developing their own Aims. Any
one who makes a pretense at being

trays that he uses for processing

instance. The developer causes

Imanent. There is one major diff
ference, however, between film and
print processing. Films. as gen.
Ieral rule, must be handled in total
darkness while print making is
carried out with the aid Of a safe
light.

cessing when six or less cut Aims
are to be worked with or one roll
of Aim handled. It is inadvis-
able to attempt to work with
more than six cut films when
trays are used because Of the
danger Of scratching the soft
emulsion. Then. too, the cut
films are apt to stick together
if not handled swiftly.
Developing by Tray.
Assuming that we are to de.
yelop cut film.> place the three
trays side by side with a few
inches between each so that solu-
tions win not splash from one
tray to another. Then turn out
the darkroom lights and unload
the holders. The best method Il
to lay the films in o stack, emul.
sion side UP. With the unload
ing accomplished. the Aims are
placed, one at a time-emulsion
side up-in the tray Of developer.
Extreme care should be taken to
insure that each Aim is complete
ly immersed in the solution be-
fore the next film is placed in
the tray. Place the films in the
tray with your right hand. leav-
ing the left hand dry to pick UP
the other films from the stack.
Never touch film with fingers
that are wet with a chemical solu-
ton or disf1guring marks viii mar
the negative.
After all the films are in the
tray remove the bottom one (the
first that went into the solution)
and place it on top Of the pile.
Then repeat this with the rest un-
til. development is complete. II
the films are not kept in constant
motion they will stick together
and the pictures viii be unusable.
Also take great care to handle the
films by the edges and not get
your fingers on the emulsion.
When development is complete
the sheets of film are transferred
ito the next tray. which contains
the shortstop solution, one at 1
time and with the same care IN
handling. BY the time all of the
films are moved over to the Sec
|ond tray it will be time enough
ito start transferring them to the
third tray containing the fixing
bath. Here again the same meth
cd is used, moving the films over
lone at a time. S
They are then left in the fixing
bath until they have fully cleared
of all traces of excess silver. Il
is important that the films are
kept constantly moving in the
way described so that uniform
fixing and clearing takes place.
Once the films are clear and fully
fixed. you can move them over
to tank or tray through which
running water passes. Allow them
to stay in the wash water for aE
least 30 minutes to insure that
all chemicals are removed. Just
before removing the negatives.
sponge them of to remove all
traces Of scum. The sponging may
be done with q viscose sponge or
cotton and should take place
under water.
Few of us are equipped with .
/ film dryer so our best bet is to
hang the negatives by a corner
from a wire or cord that can be
strung above the sink, or across
the darkroom If you don't mind
a few drops of water on the floor.
Metal film clips are best for the
purpose. although we have seen
films hung to dry with the clamp
type clothes pin. i

with this discussion, describing
