Abstract
A monobath solution is coated onto undeveloped film to produce a developed image within the film. The coated film is scanned to produce an electronic representation of the developed image. The electronic representation can be output to a output device, such as a printer, memory storage device, data network, or the Internet. The monobath solution comprises a combination of a developing agent and some other processing function. For example, the monobath solution may comprise a combination of a developing agent and a fixing agent, bleaching agent, or stabilizing agent. The developed image generally comprises developed in-situ silver and at least one dye.
