hey guys,
today i just developed my first roll of film manually. the problem is i am using a color negative film but my university photography lab only provide b&w chemical.

luckily the film turns out okay but i what i would like to know is what will happen to the picture if i print it out? currently the film is still in the dryer...

thanks

The real problem might be residual colour couplers left over after the process - in CN, some undeveloped parts are supposed to build a orange mask which can make it hard to print such a film. Depending on the choice of film type, developer and fixer the film can turn out reasonably clear nonetheless, so YMMV.

oh, then i cant wait to make prints from the picture.
i am not sure what chemical they provide, but what i am sure is that all of it is from ilford.

i am using the centuria 100 film.

YMMV?
