How To Print Color Negatives in the Darkroom

[@swagwizard4376]

at risk of sounding totally stupid, this process allows you to take a color negative film photo (like a portra 400 shot), and print it onto a sheet of paper as a positive? i could be misunderstanding something fundamentally here.

Yes, that is what it is doing. The paper is essentially a piece of paper with a film emulsion on it, so it works the same way as the film in your camera. If you expose it with a negative from an enlarger, it will invert the negative image and you end up with a positive.
