What happens to the fog level in the darkroom when the temperature is too high?

When the temperature in the darkroom is too high, the fog level in film increases due to the elevated thermal energy, which can lead to a higher rate of molecular movement and potentially harmful interactions within the film emulsion. Specifically, excessive heat accelerates the chemical reactions that result in fogging, causing the film to become an unintentional darker area, which can reduce the contrast and overall image quality. Therefore, the relationship between temperature and fog levels is significant, with higher temperatures directly correlating to increased fog on the film. This highlights the importance of maintaining appropriate darkroom temperatures to ensure the best possible outcomes in image production.
