- The enlarger projects the image from
the negative on to the paper.
- The duration that the enlarger's light
is left on is called the exposure.
- Longer exposure times create darker
prints.

- A test print is made to discover the
correct exposure.
- This print was made in two second
increments from two seconds to
ten seconds.
- The best exposure was judged to be
eight seconds.

- To bring out the image on the photographic
paper it is bathed in three chemicals:
- Developer: Makes the image appear.
- Stop: Removes any developing liquid
left on the paper.
- Fixer: Dissolves away any remaining
light sensitive particles to make the image
permanent. (Otherwise the print will go grey
when brought into the daylight.)
- Lastly the print is washed and left to dry.
