Frederick Scott Archer is known for inventing the photographic collodion process. This process is what replaced the daguerreotype. It was also known as the wet plate process. It was best for creating fine detail. It converts iodide, bromide or chloride to silver iodide, bromide, or chloride with a silver nitrate solution. Archer, the british photographer, also studied sculpture and chemistry. This is how he came up with the wet plate process. Even though he created the process, he never patented it because he considered it to be a gift to the world. Archer did not take photography for granted.
