Printing — developing — washing — all require accurate timing. Darkroom Helper lets you keep your eyes off the clock and on what you’re doing, giving you prompts for every step of the way. Printing — dodging and burning in; developing; washing — has that print been in the wash long enough? Separate pages for each process, fully editable; save your customized processes for later use, e.g. handling different types of paper. Prompts can be visual, sounds or even voice.
