Development of the film

The C-41 process is a standardized method of developing images from exposed film. Many photo labs offer this development process, but it is also possible to develop the film yourself to have full control over the process. For this you need the appropriate chemistry and accessories. The development of the film results in the creation of film strips that can either be digitized or used as prints.

Some photo labs offer the creation of prints in various sizes as a service. If you want to digitally process the images with the Lomochrome Purple Pétillant 120, it is recommended to digitize them with a scanner. There is a wide range of devices to digitize negatives, which differ in features and quality. There are options to suit every budget. After scanning the images, one can further process the results in digital or printed form.
