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.
