What process develops a negative into a positive image?

• A. Film Processing
• B. Color Grading
• C. Editing
• D. Printing

Answer: (A)

Film processing is the stage that reveals the exposed image on the film through chemical development. When the film is developed, the latent image created by the exposure is brought into visible form by reducing exposed silver halide crystals to metallic silver, producing a workable negative on the film. This negative can then be used to create a positive image later, such as by printing. The other options don’t fit the idea of revealing the image on the film itself: color grading adjusts color after capture, editing is about selecting and arranging shots, and printing creates a positive image from a negative but happens after the film has been processed.
