1. The Darkroom

2. Photosensitive Paper Kept in a safe to protect from white light. Emulsion – Covered in a gelatin and silver-halide crystals – Crystals trap light Light hits crystals and clumps them together

3. Latent Image “Image” created on the dry side of the dark room The clumping of the crystals is not visible Stable reaction

4. Two Sides Wet Side Chemicals – 3 trays Image is developed Hung on line Dry Side Enlargers & Paper Images are created Both sides have safe lights or “red lights”. Black & White paper is not sensitive to red light.

5. The Enlarger House – This is where the bulb/light is located Lens – an opening through which the light comes Height – adjusts how close the house is to the easel Focus – adjusts the circle of light/image Easel – where light/image are projected

7. Wet Side

8. The Chemical Process Developer: converts exposed silver-halide crystals in to black metallic silver revealing image. Stop Bath: weak acid bath that neutralizes the developing action. Fixer: removes unexposed crystals making the image light safe. Holding Bath: washes the remaining chemicals off the print.

9. Drying Process Excess water is removed with a squeegee and print hung to dry on a clothes line.
