Photographic printing
Photographic printing is the process of producing a final image for viewing, usually on sensitized paper from a previously prepared photographic negative.
The process consists of three major steps, performed in a photographic darkroom or within an automated photo printing machine:
- Exposure of the image onto the sensitized paper using a contact printer or enlarger
- Development of the latent image through a multistep chemical immersion process.
- Optional Toning of the print through additional chemical processes.
- Texturing and drying of the final print.
