I simply want to know how photography went from light hitting an object, which is what film is, to the ability to put that film into chemicals and replicate the original open aperture.
How did photography go from basically giant slabs to film to paper?
Long ago, long before the internet, when I was a kid, one of my biggest fascinations with old photography happened in Jaws when Brody processed the film from the divers when he thought he saw a shark in the photo.
To this day I don't understand the process of how you capture light on film, first hand, but then transfer it to bigger print.
The article isn't about the artistic process. It's about how light reacts with the emulsion on film to create an image. It's EXACTLY what you asked for.

There is also a reason one can crop an image and make it your tiny avatar. Back in the 70s an ABBA ALBUM jacket would be as big as a 1800s film square. I am trying to understand how you go from light being absorbed or refracted from an original source, being early photography, to copying that same film to larger pieces of paper through chemical process.
