In the Dark

After turning off the lights find the film holders. Remove the dark slides and take out the 4x5 film and stack the film that you will develop that session (one session should never exceed six sheets of film) onto a dry paper towel. You should wear latex gloves because you will need to agitate the film manually in the trays. When ready, start the development process. Remember that to agitate 4x5 film is to take the bottom sheet of film and carefully pull from under the stack and place it on top of the stack. You will be cycling through all the sheets this way.
