What is Darkroom?
[[File:MCTC Darkroom (243824167).jpg|thumb|A darkroom illuminated by a yellow safelight]] The '''darkroom''' is a room where [[photographic film]] and paper is handled and [[Film processing|developed]]. It is kept dark to prevent undeveloped film or paper from being exposed to light, which would erase the image. Darkrooms that are used for handling orthochromatic (blue-sensitive) film and [[black and white]] paper can be illuminated with a red or yellow [[safelight]]. Darkrooms used for handling color film and paper, and panchromatic black and white film (films sensitive to all colors) must be kept completely dark. [[Category:Photography]]
