I believe that’s the anti-halation layer. I’ve avoided the purple tint in some black and white films by pre-rinsing the film before developing. I fill the tank with the proper temperature water, soak, then pour it out. Repeat until the water runs clear, then start the developer. The tint won’t make too much of a difference if you’re printing from the negative on black and white paper or scanning (where it can be easily removed in your photo editing software). Hope that helps!
This's my personal experience, that you can try with increased fixing time. I got the same issue then I kept it longer in the fixing process like 3 or 4 mins.
You should never pour your chemicals down the drain! Rather, you should pour them into a container and, when the container is full, take it to your recycling station where it can be disposed of properly. I can't believe people still pour chemicals down the drain! It's just irresponsible.
Good Video, I develop my own film as a Hobby, I do trail photography a lot.
Nice video. Thank you.

Nice smooth workflow, Matt
Thank you so much, Dave!
Really good video Matthew, could you please tell me what APP you use for various film & chemistry developing guides? Thanks again!
Thank you. Very good video.
why my film looks purple? Do you have any advice? Thanks

@@MatthewArringtonphoto thanks for your reply. I will try it according to the method you mentioned.
