[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]Glenn, I still shoot some film and I take both the color and b/w to a pro lab for developing only. ?Then I do the scans myself. ?Sometimes, if I'm willing to trust the film to a different processor (a pro store) I also order a cd with the film. ?Then I can view more easily and rescan the ones that I want. I also shoot Tech Pan and some other slow films that I must develop myself. So, I'm not out of this annoying business. For ease of living, I recommend having someone else do your processing. ?At $6 to $9 for the processing, the several hours I would be in the darkroom are better spent in Photoshop.
