Abstract
The invention provides a method of photographic processing, comprising the steps of applying a first component of a processing solution to the surface of a silver halide photographic material to be processed and applying a second component of the processing solution to the surface of photographic material to be processed. When the applied first and second components have mixed together, the processing solution is active to oxidise silver in the photographic material. The invention also provides a photographic processor suitable for carrying out the method.

A method of photographic processing, comprising the steps of:
- applying a first component of a processing solution to the surface of a silver halide photographic material to be processed;
- and
- applying a second component of the processing solution to the surface of photographic material to be processed, wherein when the applied first and second components have mixed together, the processing solution is active to oxidise silver in the photographic material.
A photographic processor, comprising:
- a receiver for receiving photographic material to be processed;
- and
- a processing solution applicator for applying a processing solution to a surface of the photographic material, wherein the processing solution applicator comprises a source of a first component of a processing solution and a source of a second component of the processing solution, the applicator being adapted to mix said first and second components of the processing solution either on or immediately prior to application of the processing solution to a surface of the photographic material.
