how much money they just wasted on a bunch of messed up pictures. If they

were to sit down and think about all the chemicals that went into making that

In the year 1864 a chemist by the name of Joseph Wilson Swan

produces the first way to develop film. (Joseph). What was known as the auto

type process was created by using a gelatin film soaked in carbon or other

pigment granules. This process would then be photosensitized by using

potassium dichromate. Later in 1879, he produced the bromide printing paper

that we now use in standard photographic medium.

Since photography has been around for about 100 years the chemicals
