How to arrange a small darkroom

1. Choose a suitable room: the darkroom needs a relatively closed space, preferably without windows or windows that can shade the light. The size of the room depends on your needs, but at least there needs to be enough space to place the necessary equipment such as power amplifier and sink. 2. Shading: The darkroom needs to be completely shaded, so that it will not be affected by light when processing film. You can cover doors and windows with black curtains or shading cloth. 3. Install a magnifying glass: A magnifying glass is one of the most important devices in a darkroom. Put the magnifying glass on a stable surface, preferably a special magnifying glass. Ensure that the position of the amplifier can be easily adjusted and moved. 4. Prepare the sink: In the darkroom, you need a sink to develop the negative. You can use a special film processing tank or a large plastic basin. Make sure the sink is deep enough so that you can soak the negative completely. 5. Store chemicals: In a darkroom, you need some chemicals to process the negative. These chemicals should be stored in a dry, cool and ventilated place, away from light and children. You can use a special chemical cabinet or a sealed plastic container. 6. Lighting: In a darkroom, you need some lighting to operate the equipment and develop the film. You can use a red bulb or a red filter to reduce the light intensity. Ensure that the light is bright enough, but it will not affect the film processing. 7. Cleanliness: It is very important to keep clean in a darkroom. Films and equipment need to be kept clean to avoid the influence of dust and dirt. You can use some detergent and soft cloth to clean the equipment and sink. 8. Maintenance: The darkroom needs regular maintenance to ensure the normal operation of the equipment. You need to change chemicals, clean equipment and check light bulbs regularly. Make sure you know how to use and maintain the equipment, so as to deal with problems in time.
