dr5, or dr5 Chrome©, is a reversal black and white process, through which most kinds of black-and-white negative films produce transparencies (slides). The dr5 process is a chemical reversal process, rather than the standard, light-based reversal for black and white transparency (slide).[1] It was developed by photographic chemist David Wood.[1] Wood states that dr5 gives the photographer the ability to have a B&W darkroom in-camera, enabling a final thought out exposure, the original as seen or envisioned by the artist.

History

The "dr5 process" is the fifth incarnation of the process, derived by experimentation by Wood from 1989 through 1991. Though reversal film processing was well known throughout photographic history, the dr5 process is proprietary. Privately performing the process alone until 1998, Wood afterward briefly teamed with A&I Color Lab[2] in Los Angeles CA, via their affiliate lab AIM.[3]

The dr5 process won best new product in 1999 at the '99 Photo Expo-Plus Expo Review.[4][5]

In August 2001, Wood opened an independent lab, then called "dr5 Chrome©", in New York City.[3][6] The lab used a processor made for dr5 specifications by Tecnolab[7] in Italy. Following a period after 2005 it was located in Denver,[8] then relocated to Stuart, IA in 2017.

Future

Some time in 2021 the dr5 process procedure will be made public in it's entirety. This according to the creator David Wood. The process will first be published to a photographic journal, then published in detail on this Wiki page. The dr5 service will officially close some time in 2021 and the process will live on through other photographers as a process of photographic history.
