A method and system for environmental control in film processing is
disclosed. In general, photographic film is coated with a processing
solution, such as a developer solution, and is then developed within a
controlled air environment. In the preferred embodiments, the temperature
and humidity within the air environment is strictly controlled, which
allows the development process to be more accurately and consistently
controlled. This also allows fewer processing chemicals to be used and
reduces harmful effluents caused by photographic film processing.
