What is a "darkroom"?
A darkroom is a specialized space used for developing and processing photographic film and prints. It is equipped with tools and chemicals necessary for creating photos from film, and it is kept dark to prevent unwanted exposure to light. In a darkroom, various tasks such as developing film, making prints, and adjusting image contrasts are performed under controlled lighting conditions to ensure the quality and accuracy of the final images.
