Darkroom software?

Does anyone know any darkroom processing software? I mean a program that ideally not only has a database of film/paper processing tables, but also a process stopwatch, a timer and so on? A program that can be used in the darkroom to guide processing?

 

TIA

Hi Ed,

 

I don't know of anything that currently exists, but as a standalone app, it would be a pretty easy thing to program. I would be curious to know how widespread an interest there is in such an app.

Yes, It should be pretty simple indeed.

 

I had coded ages ago some parts, the programmable process timer, even a dark red and Amber-green screen to use as a safelight. It was the time of Borland TurboPascal then.

But I have since switched to Mac, and left programming to more constant folks.

 

I suppose that now, with VB, Delphi, RealBasic, etc it should be a snap. I don't have the time to do it, but will gladly accept to alpha and beta test such a piece of software

The Massive Dev Chart: B/W Film Development Times, Processing Data, loaded onto your iPhone/iPod is a good start.

 

The iPhone/iPod will also do the timing for you. Just wrap the screen in some red filter cellophane.

 

Actually, that's what I am currently using. Just remember to put the iphone in "Airplane" mode or an unexpected call can play havoc with your workflow....

 

But a programmable stopwatch/timer would be nice, one that you can set to mark the initial agitation time, x inversions by the minute, when to start pouring out or in the liquids, etc
