Re-exposure is necessary in any reversal process, so that the remaining halides that were not exposed/developed for the initial negative image, can be exposed to light, then processed to a positive image in the 2nd developer. The kits make the process simple and accessible for the average 35mm still photographer by combining the steps. So, the 2nd Developer step chemically 're-exposes' the remaining halides from the 1st Developer step, and *also* develops it. Similarly, the Bleach/Fix (Blix) step combines the Bleach and the Fix in one step. Hence, 6 steps become a more manageable 4.
