Abstract
An apparatus for developing a fixed photographic image on a light-sensitive, heat-developable emulsion, coated on a surface of a film base. The apparatus comprises a light source to expose the emulsion to an image of light to record a latent image on the emulsion and film support means to support the film by a gas bearing of flowing gas supplied to the emulsion and film base surfaces. The gas bearing is established by spacing the support means with respect to the film such that the pressure of gas supplied to the respective film surfaces supports the film and the film passes through the development apparatus. The support means includes heating means to heat the gas supplied to the film surfaces. The spacing is such that heat is transferred between the heating means and the respective film surfaces essentially by heat conduction to develop the fixed image.
