Abstract: According to the method of the invention, photographic media are transported from one treatment station to another by means of a conveyor belt (1) on which they are held by temporary adhesion by using adhesive means, said media (10) being then removed from the belt by means of an extractor (9). The adhesive means have, with respect to the belt (1), an adhesive power different from the adhesive power they have with respect to the medium (10), so that, during the extraction phase, they remain either on the belt (1) or on the medium (10), according to the desired aim. The invention allows to improve the performances and to extend the application fields of apparatuses using the transfer principle by conveyor belt with temporary adhesion.
