The Fogging Properties of Developers

Merle L. Dundon, J. I. Crabtree

Developer fog on a plate or film consists of a veil of silver deposited especially on those portions which received little or no exposure and which adds more or less to the total density of the developed image. The appearance of this fog acts as a limiting factor in the time of development, and often interferes with shadow detail. In spite of its importance in practical photography, very little really definite information on the subject exists in the literature.
