Developing is still a good option. I develop then scan my photos. Color is arguably easier to develop than b&w, you need a constant temperature and time but you don’t have to worry about pushing or pulling.
- elliekelly 5y agoI know nothing about developing film but I’m curious about the chemicals used and how you dispose of them afterwards? Does it require any special process?

Color may be easier nowadays because sous vide cooking gear is fairly inexpensive, and lets you keep temperatures constant. It was much harder to do this in the past, so B&W was easier (chemical-wise). "Worrying" about pushing and pulling with B&W is an advantage to some because it lets you tweak your final print compared to what your exposure is.
