In the processing of photographic films, plates or papers, the photographic developer (or just developer) is a chemical that makes the latent image Latent_imageonthe film or print visible. It does this by reducing the silver halides that have been exposed to light to elemental silver in the Gelatin matrix. As a generalisation, the longer a developer is allowed to work, the greater the degree of reduction of the silver halide crystals to silver and therefore the darker the image.
It utilized self-developing photographic film.
There is no specific collective noun form photographic film, in which case a noun suitable for the context is used, for example a roll of photographic film, a case of photographic film, an archive of photographic film, etc.
The essential components of film developing equipment include a developing tank, film reels, chemicals (developer, stop bath, fixer), thermometer, timer, and a darkroom or changing bag. These tools are necessary for processing photographic film to create images.
Developing photographic film is generally not very expensive. To develop a roll of normal color film, it will cost between $3 and $5.
Lights are turned off during the photographic film developing process to prevent exposure to light, which can interfere with the development of the film. Light can cause premature exposure of the photosensitive chemicals on the film, leading to unwanted effects or ruining the final image.
There is no standard collective noun for photographic film, in which case, a noun suitable for the situation is used; for example, a case of photographic film, a cache of photographic film, a supply of photographic film, etc.

Photographic film was invented in 1889 by George Eastman. Photographic film and paper is made using silver nitrate which is light sensitive.
The pH of developing solution used in photography is typically around 10-11. This alkaline pH helps in developing the photographic film by activating the chemicals in the solution.
Henri Becquerel did not discover photographic film. He was a French physicist who discovered radioactivity in 1896. Photographic film was discovered by George Eastman, who founded Kodak, in the late 19th century.
