CAMERA ANGLES
BY ALEXANDER J.
WEDDERBURN
Curator Of Photography
tha smithsonian InstitutIon

Last week we discussed how
the latent or hidden image in
an exposed film Is made
visible and permanent. Now
we viii 60 into some detail
as to the specific methods Of
processing films.
Processing, as we saw in the
previous discussion, is in three
steps. In the first, develop
ment, the latent image reacts
to chemical treatment and be-
comes visible. In the second
step the process of develop
ment is arrested; and in the
third the image Is permanently
fixed so that it will no longer
be affected by light.
However, as the saying goes,
there are more ways than one
to skin a cat. The same may
be said Of film processing.
Your films can be brought to
life either by one Of two
methods of so-called tank
processing or by using shallow
trays. We win discuss each
procedure.
Deep Tank Method
Cut films. that are sheets
of the sensitized material cut
TO fit film holders of various
sizes. are best handled by the
deep-tank method. This way
there is less chance Of scratch
ing the emulsion or messing it
up with fingerprints.
Three deep tanks should be
provided. These are generally
rubber vessels large enough to
accommodate q dozen film
hangers. One is for the de-
yeloping solution, another is for
the short-stop and the third
for the hypo or fixing agent.
Each tank should be filled far
enough so that when the laden
films hangers are suspended in
the solutions the films viii be
entirely immersed. The tanks
should be placed q few inches
apart to prevent splashes from
one tank falling into another.
Serious Damage Possible
OF course. the entire pro-
cedure is begun in total dark
ness. The best way is to un-
load the film holders directly
into the hangers which, BY the
way. should be stood vertically
against some stationary object.
II the hangers are laid one on.
another there is always q
chance that. In the darkness,
you may scratch the emulsion.

unload the holders and stack
the film and then load into the
metal hangers but again. in the
total darkness, it is so easy to
miss one Of the films only to
discover you have ruined 1t
when the light Is turned on.
After all the films have been
placed in the hangers the lat
ter should be picked up in a
group and lowered into the
tank Of developer. And be sure
that you don't mistakenly
place them In one Of the other
tanks. To. make absolutely
sure that she films get the
exact amount Of development
q timer should be used. This
should be set for the correct
number Of minutes while the
lights are on and started just
after the films have been low
cred into the tank.
DisIodge Air Bells
Films should not be left at
rest during development. Air
bells tend to form and cling
to the films and these should
be dislodged by occasionally
lifting the hangers and rap-
ping them sharply against the
top Of the tank as they are re-
lowered into the solution.
When the timer rings. indi-
eating that the films have
reached the proper stage Of
development. lift the hangers
from the first tank and allow
the excess liquid to drain back
into the tank. Then lower
them into the second tank for
four or five seconds to stop
the developing action. Again
drain the excess liquid before
moving the hangers into the
fixing bath. After fixation is
complete the films should be
washed in running water for
80 minutes to remove all traces
Of the processing chemicals.
Incidentally, leave the films
