Self-processing film unit with liquid applicator

A self-processing film unit comprising:

• a sheet-like film component including one or more photosensitive layers and having an outer surface with a given area thereof that is configured to be wetted with a low viscosity processing liquid to initiate processing of said film component;
• and
• a liquid applicator secured to said film component outside of said given area and including a liquid and air impervious sheet dimensioned for extension over said outer surface in covering relation to said given area, and means on one surface of said impervious sheet yieldably holding a substantially uniformly distributed supply of a low viscosity processing liquid sufficient to wet said given area, said applicator being initially provided on said film component in a folded and releasably sealed configuration, wherein said impervious sheet forms a liquid and air impervious enclosure about said liquid holding means, and being configured for movement to an unsealed extending configuration overlying said outer surface with said liquid holding means in liquid yielding contact with said given area to effect wetting thereof.
