People have been using cameras and film for more than 100 years, both for still photography and movies. Despite its long history, film remains the best way to capture still photographs because of its incredible ability to record detail in a very stable form.
Photographic printing is the process of producing a final image for viewing, usually on sensitized paper from a previously prepared photographic negative. The process consists of three major steps, performed in a photographic darkroom or within an automated photo printing machine: Exposure of the image onto the sensitized paper, processing of the latent image through a multiple step chemical immersion process, and texturing and drying of the final print. The entire process is referred to as photo finishing.
