Whois & Analysis for thedarkroom.com

A darkroom is a workshop used by photographers working with photographic film to make prints and carry out other associated tasks.

It is a room that can be made completely dark to allow the processing of the light sensitive photographic materials, including film and photographic paper.

Various equipment is used in the darkroom, including an enlarger, baths containing chemicals, and running water.

Photographic processing or development is the chemical means by which photographic film or paper is treated after photographic exposure to produce a negative or positive image.

Photographic processing transforms the latent image into a visible image, makes this permanent and renders it insensitive to light.

C-41 is a chromogenic color print film developing process introduced by Kodak in 1972, superseding the C-22 process.

C-41, also known as CN-16 by Fuji, CNK-4 by Konica, and AP-70 by AGFA, is the most popular film process in use, with most photofinishing labs devoting at least one machine to this development process.

The E-6 process (often abbreviated to E-6) is a chromogenic photographic process for developing Ektachrome, Fujichrome and other color reversal (slide) photographic film.

In computing, an image scanner—often abbreviated to just scanner, although the term is ambiguous out of context (barcode scanner, CAT scanner etc)—is a device that optically scans images, printed text, handwriting or an object and converts it to a digital image.

Commonly used in offices are variations of the desktop flatbed scanner where the document is placed on a glass window for scanning.

Hand-held scanners, where the device is moved by hand, have evolved from text scanning "wands" to 3D scanners used for industrial design, reverse engineering, test and measurement, orthotics, gaming and other applications.

Mechanically driven scanners that move the document are typically used for large-format documents, where a flatbed design would be impractical.
