ABSTRACT
Doing your own film processing and printing gives you much more control over your results
than passing them over to the local laboratory. You probably won’t save money, but mastering
the skills is enjoyable and will allow you to produce prints just the way you want them to
look. This grows more important the further you progress in your photography – aiming for
your own style of pictures or perhaps tackling specialized subjects beyond the range of the
average commercial laboratory.
