This one should be between 29 and 31 degrees and it has to stay 6 minutes. Then put the developer back into the bottle because it’s reusable.ģ- Next phase is the Blix. We are going to agitate for a minute at the beginning and then 4 inversions every minute. This step helps the chemicals to develop the film evenly and also to warm up the developing tank.Ģ- When pre-soaking is done so it’s show time for the developer. There are 5 steps to follow when developing colour film:ġ- Before putting the chemicals inside the tanks we need to pre-soak the films for 5 minutes with water at 30 degrees. This will ensure to have the right temperature when time is over.
My suggestion is to let the bottles in a bathtub or bucket, for at least 15 minutes, filled with water at 35 degrees. The temperature ensure that all layers are developed correctly and colours don’t shift. Part 2 – Developing the filmĪs I mentioned earlier all chemicals should be at 30 degrees (you can also develop at 38 degrees but developing time needs to be shorten), especially the developer as it’s the pickiest of the 3 solutions. Our chemicals are now ready! You can see all the steps in this video if you want to see me in action. This is the easiest as it requires only 800ml and 200ml of pure stabiliser. This looks like fake blood! And complete with 200ml of part 2. Here we need 600ml of water (again between 20 and 45 degrees Celsius). With C41 developer you can be off by +/- half a degree so we must be precise here! There are other temperatures you can develop at but today we’ll go for the 30 degrees. This one is the most critical in terms of temperature so we are going to let it sit in a bucket of water that’s around 30 degrees celsius to make sure the temperature is correct for the development. 200ml of part one, same for the 2nd part and another 200ml of part 3 to finish. The first thing we need is 400ml of water.
