'developing' is the process of turning the film into an image that is no longer sensitive to light?
Basically, yes - here's a link that might clear up a lot of questions -
https://medium.com/@briangreenbergrpl/how-does-film-development-actually-work-b729154d532Scanners (you can use at home with your computer) range from pretty shit to quite decent, the tl;dr is:
you need to spend a couple hundred on a proper scanner (and proper scanning software) to make it worthwhile, it's a tedious process - so most people let a lab do it that has even better scanners and skilled people working those machines (hopefully) 🙂

Massive newbie question, but for my own clarity, I've always assumed 'developing your film' is the process of taking the negatives and turning them into a print of a photo. But, reading around, it appears 'developing' is the process of turning the film into an image that is no longer sensitive to light?
You can then use something like a film scanner to digitise it yourself? Predictable follow up question - are these film scanners any good?
