Subject: RE: [Leica] Why are professional labs unwilling to do pigment dye transfer and Cibachrome?

 Can a digitally colored print approximate
the quality of the pigment dye transfer or Cibachrome prints? Personally my
gut feelings is that they are not.

Well, Alfie, what is this 'personal gut feeling' of yours based on? Have you
done a side-by-side comparison of a high quality digital print with a
pigment dye transfer and Cibachrome, all printed from the same image?
Perhaps if you did that, you'd understand why you are having difficulty
finding labs that still work with the older technologies.
