Abstract
A method of developing a latent image on a photographic element (such as imagewise exposed photographic film) by absorbing a dye precursor into the film, applying a developer solution to the film to develop the latent image and form a dye in the film, scanning the film with light, and detecting at least one of light reflected away from and light transmitted through the film.
Claims1
A digital film processing system for use in electronic film development, comprising:
- (a) a dye precursor supply station configured for applying a dye precursor solution to a film;
- (b) a developer supply station configured for applying a developer solution to the film;
- and
- (c) at least one scanning station for scanning the film with light after application of the dye precursor solution and the developer solution.
