Controlling the Development Process
Development is the chemical process that makes an image appear on
exposed photographic material. You must control the development
process to ensure that the processed medium will have the density you
expect it to have based on the exposure settings you used.
Development Variables to Control
Development of the photographic image is affected by:
The length of time the photographic material is in the developer,
controlled by the processor speed
Developer temperature
Replenishment rate
Changes to any of these elements affect the density of the processed
medium.
For optimum image quality, follow the manufacturer's specifications
for processing media. This information is generally provided on a data
sheet packaged with each roll of media.
