How can I develop film at home?

Developing film at home involves a few key steps: gathering supplies, preparing chemicals, and following a specific process.

What supplies do I need to get started?

You'll need a developing tank, film reels, chemicals (developer, stop bath, fixer), a thermometer, and a dark bag.

Can you explain the developing process?

Sure! First, load the film onto the reel in complete darkness. Then, mix your chemicals and pour them into the tank, following the timing for each step.

How do I know when the film is properly developed?

After the final rinse, you can check the negatives. They should be clear with good contrast. If they look too light or dark, adjustments may be needed.
