What is a "stop bath"?
A stop bath is a chemical solution used in photographic processing to halt the development of a photograph. After the film or photographic paper has been exposed to the developer, it is immersed in the stop bath, which neutralizes the developer and prevents further chemical reactions. This step is crucial for ensuring that the image does not continue to develop and that the final print or film has the desired level of contrast and detail.
