They both told me that if making outputs for future scanning it is better to go the traditional way than digital. They even told me that if getting slides burned from a digital file it would be best to get a traditional dupe made than going digital. Both these people work photoshop creating very high end digital outputs all day every day. One of the labs has the top of the line state of the art equipment and does projects for companies like Disney, Warner Brothers, RCA, Sony and many others. The majority of their work is done for clients outside of Nashville. If CJ tells me that it is better to go wet, I will believe CJ. He has been high end digital since the beginning. He is so into digital that a few months ago they totally ditched all wet work are are now exclusively digital. So if wet was not better why would he tell me to go wet, knowing that I will have to go to a different lab? - -- Harrison McClary http://www.mcclary.net
