How does film processing work?
Camera film is a plastic sheet coated with grains of silver salts that are sensitive to light. When film is exposed in a camera, the silver grains are affected by light. During processing, a developer converts the grains back to silver, forming a negative image. The negative is made into a positive print by projecting it onto a sheet of paper coated with similar silver salts. After development, light areas on the negative become dark areas on the print and dark areas become light.
Film is developed to produce a negative, which is enlarged to make a print.
