This refers to structure of film that composed of silver halides and gelatine – a layer composed of silver
compounds (which are light sensitive) and halogens (such as bromide, chloride, and iodide which is used in small
amounts, seldom made more than 5% with silver bromide in fast film emulsion).

Q

This refers to a black dye applied on the rear surface of the film, it absorbs light that may penetrate the
emulsion layer to prevent it from reflecting back to the emulsion thus making the mage sharper since it suppresses
double image, and prevents the appearance of halo formation in the photograph.

88
Q

The theory of film development refers to the principle in photography that explains how the latent image in the
exposed film is converted into a negative image (visible image).

A

Film Development

89
Q

This theory provides that there are six (6) stages (two
optional) of chemical processing needed to make the latent image become visible such that it can be printed to produce a
photograph.

A

Film Development

90
Q

Stages of Film Development

A
  1. Predevelopment Water Rinse
  2. Developing
  3. Stop Bath – Rinse Bath
  4. Fixing Bath or Fixing
  5. Washing
  6. Drying
91
Q

This is done by simply soaking the film in water for 2 to 3 minutes while agitating the water container for
every 20 seconds.

A

Predevelopment Water Rinse

92
Q

Converting the exposed image on the film into actual image.

A

Developing

93
Q

The removal of the traces of the developer as well as it helps in the removal of excess or undeveloped silver
halides.

A

Stop Bath – Rinse Bath

94
Q

This process stops development by neutralizing the effects of the developer.

A

Stop Bath – Rinse Bath

95
Q

It is also necessary to
minimize the staining effect of the developer and at the same time conserve to some extent the strength of the
fixing solution.

A

Stop Bath – Rinse Bath

96
Q

Even after developing, the image is still invisible because the silver halides are still present in the emulsion.

A

Fixing Bath or Fixing

97
Q

This
stage also removes the unexposed and undeveloped halides by converting them to soluble salts which may be
washed from the emulsion.

A

Fixing Bath or Fixing

98
Q

This is the final part of the processing cycle, which removes the residual chemicals and soluble silver
compounds from the emulsion and reveals the image.
