When I was printing, you had to buy paper of the contrast type you wanted, so paper selection was a big part of getting a good print. A little after I lost access to a good darkroom (because I was using my college photo club darkroom and I graduated), variable contrast paper came out that would have been so much easier! It was fun, but I prefer post processing on a computer. These days, if I shot film, I would scan the negative and do all the processing of the print chemical-free.

Even worse, if you were pushing or pulling in-camera (with film), then you were stuck with the (push/pull) developing that you chose.  No going back!

I said farewell to the darkroom many decades ago too!

Man I wish I had digital back then!!!!!
