A film developing apparatus is provided for developing photographic film by an automated batch process. The apparatus provides automated preparation of precise mixtures of the processing liquids at various stages of the batch process. The mixtures are made on-demand and are pre-heated just before use in the batch process. Additionally, the apparatus provides a method to reuse used processing fluids in future processing. In particular, the apparatus makes use of its mixing capability to combine a reserved processing fluid with a fresh processing fluid to create a replenished processing fluid.
