Well, personally I had better success while keeping the whole room at a consistent temperature.
It was not easy for myself and others when I first got into photography, however the pointing and shooting with the camera was not the challenging part, it was developing the movie; At first I didn’t understand why everybody didn’t use digital cameras, but then I was able to learn the difference, then when you have experience in the darkroom, that’s when you start to easily understand how the magic happens when your pictures come to light! I l earned how important it is to keep the ideal temperature control settings, at around 68 degrees. If you go too boiling or too cold, everything goes wrong while attempting to develop your pictures. I know from experience as I decided to create our own darkroom. Some people have told myself and others that you don’t necessarily need the room to be at the perfect temperature control settings, but the solutions you are using for developing. Well, personally I had better success while keeping the whole room at a consistent temperature. I didn’t love having to always labor difficult to try to keep our solutions at the perfect temperature individually. It’s so much easier for myself and others to just set the room at the right temperature control settings, and I was able to do that by installing a ductless mini split. That ductless mini cut hardly uses any energy because it’s so efficient and I have never had any complications with developing our pictures after that. When people ask myself and others for advice, I just tell them how I installed a ductless mini cut and make sure to have the ideal hot and cold temperatures in the room so our solutions will be just right.
