STAGE 01 / 03 — DARKROOM INITIALIZATION
ENLARGER CALIBRATION
The enlarger is miscalibrated. Engage the aperture contacts
in the optical sequence - widest to narrowest.
One wrong contact and the sequence resets to zero.
Then sort out the chemicals:
Fixer needs to equal Developer plus Stop Bath (which is twice the Developer).
Everything above zero - they messed with the ratios.
STAGE 02 / 03 — PRINT DEVELOPMENT
PROCESSING SEQUENCE
The processing order has been scrambled.
Drag the four chemical baths into the correct sequence.
Then enter the exact immersion time for each - the evidence won't survive an incorrect exposure.
