![]() Once the stabilizer is in the tank, it should only take about one minute. The stabilizer also does more film-maybe 20 rolls instead of 12-so you can keep it for longer. The stabilizer should be around 35 to 38 degrees C, but it’s not so critical and will be okay if it’s a little cooler. Agitate the tank a little and let sit for 3 to 3 1/2 minutes, using the agitation stick every minute. Make sure it’s at the right temperature and pour it into the developing tank. When the time is up, pour the bleach back into its storage bottle. Keep checking the temperature of the fixer while you wait and put the stabilizer in the washing tub to warm up. Leave the bleach in for 3 to 3 1/2 minutes. Again, agitate the solution with the agitation stick every minute. Pour the bleach into the developing tank and turn it upside down a few times to mix it in. You can just pour it back into its storage bottle because you can get more uses out of it later-up to 12 films.īefore moving on to the next step, rinse out the tank with 35 degree C water. Put the fixer in the washing tub to warm it up.Įvery minute, agitate the tank using the agitation stick that comes with it.Īfter 3 minutes, remove the developer solution from the tank. Agitate the tank and leave it in there for 3 minutes. When the developer is at the right temperature, pour the solution into the developing tank. When you’ve finished the pre-soak, dump the water out of the developing tank. ![]() Keep checking to make sure the developer doesn’t get too hot, you want it to be between 35 and 38 degrees C. Leave it in there for 3 minutes.ĭuring this time, your developer and bleach should be warming up in the washing tub. In a water jug, test and adjust the water so it is at 35 degrees Celsius (about 95 degrees Fahrenheit), then pour it into the developing tank. The C-41 process is very temperature critical, so you need to get the film and the developing tank up to temperature before you add the chemicals. ![]() Place your chemical storage bottles in the tub around the water jug. Place a water jug filled with hot water in the center, this will help hold up the chemical bottles when you put them in. Temperature is critical here, so you must get the chemicals up to the right temperature. All the quantities are written on the bottles, as well. You need to mix the parts together to make the complete chemicals. As you can see, it’s not so different from the black and white process: In this video, the Photography Bloke shows us how to use the C-41 developing process to develop color film. If you’re thinking about developing your own film at home, it’s not as hard as you may think.
