How does plating work?

The plate is covered in a light sensitive compound, containing Silver Halide crystals.

When light falls on the Silver-halide, it causes the silver atoms to clump together.

When developed with chemicals, the silver is left behind, causing dark areas where light has fallen. This makes a negative image, where light is dark and dark is light.

To get a positive print, simply shine light through the developed plate onto paper covered in the same Silver-halide compound.

After the same chemical process, the picture is reversed again giving the positive image.
