An electrostatic latent image transferring apparatus applies a
transferring bias to a transfer member in a transferring portion, wherein
a transferring bias value is determined on the basis of a first detection
result detected when the surface of the image bearing member which has
passed a portion opposed to the developer carrying member when the
developing bias is not applied passes the transferring portion, and a
second detection result detected when the surface of the image bearing
member which has passed the portion opposed to the developer carrying
member when the transferring bias is applied passes the transferring
portion.
