Processing Black and White photos

First this you need to do is to load the film onto the reel and put it on the tank. Now lay the stuff infront of you and learn were they are and what they are. After you learn were they are u need to turn off the lights.

Step 1: In the dark, take the film from the cassette, then pull the flat end off the 35mm canister and unwind the film and take the end of the film from the spool by peeling off the tape IN TOTAL DARKNESS!

Step 2: Load the film onto metal or plastic film reel.

Step 3: Now load the reel in the film tank and cover it and now you can turn on the lights.

Step 4: First make sure the temperature of the chemicals is good, development is directly affected by two things the speed of the film and the temperature of the developer.

Step 5: You need to poor the developer into the open part of the film tank, and then cover it. DO NOT OPEN THE TANK ITSELF! Turn the tank upside down every minute. When it is facing up again youu need to tap it a couple times to get rid of any air bubbles that might be in there.

Step 6: pour running water into the pour spot for one minute to stop the development. You could mix some glacial acetic acid with the water and let the film set for 30 seconds to get the developer off. This is know as stop bath.

Step 7: Now to use fixer with hardener to help protect the negative from getting scratched. This will take about 5-10mins, After this you need to inspect the negatives.

Step 8: Now you dont have to worry about letting light get on the film. Remove thej tank cover and let it sit in the cold water for 5mins.

Step 9: You need to get al the fixer ogg the negatives to avoid the white stains on them. Pour a tankful of Hypo Eliminator and let it set for 2 mins.

Step 10: The last wash for 5 mins.

Step 11: pull the film out of the tank. DO NOT TOUCH THE SURFAVE OF THE NEGATIVES! use washing pins or film clips to hang the film to dry in a dust-free area.

Step 12: In about 1-2 hours, the film will dry annd u need to use scissors to cut the film into strips of six long negatives. Do not cut the film it self just the space you can cut. Store the negative in clear glassline envopes or PVC plastic negative pages.
