What is a "fixer"?
A fixer is a chemical solution used in photographic processing to make images permanent and light-resistant. After a photograph is developed, the fixer dissolves any remaining light-sensitive materials that were not exposed to light, stopping the development process. This ensures that the image will not change or fade when exposed to light in the future. The fixer is a crucial step in both film and paper development, solidifying the image so it can be safely viewed in normal lighting conditions.
