What are acceptable ways of saying "to develop a photographic film"? Tom Gally's Reading Japanese with a Smile has a nice story in which the author says: > I like the connotation of the rotation here because the film has to be unfurled. However, would something like "” work just fine as well?

"" here has another meaning from "to rotate".





Normally you can't develop a photographic film by your own, so you give it to a photo shop so they do the job. "" has this connotation.
