taken has
the
notched
identification code printed on it.
2. Developing methods. Besides using automatic film processors, which are
not covered in this subcourse, there are only two processing methods: tray
and tank processing. Tray processing involves the use of rectangular trays.
Tank processing employs an open tank or closed daylight processing tank (fig
1-6). A daylight tank is equipped with a light-tight cover, and processing
solutions are poured in and out, without removing the lid, through a light
trap located in the center of the cover.
Figure 1-6.
Processing methods
a. The best developing method to use is determined, primarily, by the
type of film being processed. Another factor to consider is the equipment
available for processing the film.
