Definition
显影 is a separable verb (离合词) used in photography meaning 'to develop film or photos'. For past experience, duration, or counting, the verb splits: 显…影. For example, 显过影 ('have developed'), 显了两次影 ('developed twice'). The person developing is usually the subject, and the film or photo is the object (which can appear before the verb or in the split slot).
