I do it to show the lab the correct colors. They will print anything they want otherwise. It is that simple. Then you need to find a new lab. I've run out of labs. Next. |

You know that transparencies have a greater viewed lattitude than a print can reproduce, right? It's simply not possible. But if you can afford it, you might spend what is neccessary to have a pro print a dye transfer, with masks - providing your transparencies are exposed to within 1/4 of stop dead-on. |

I'm on the side of film and scanning to digital. The important factor in digital quality is information. Image quality and color depth is still a function of image information available. Roll film trannies or negs provide huge amounts of digital information to work with. The 6x4.5 and larger roll film originals are fantastic sources for digital work. Rich Me too, at least for color. I print wet for b/w, but scan my 6x7 slides/chromes for printing by computer. I shoot transparencies so I can judge their quality directly, and scan them because I have a b/w darkroom. But then I pay only US$5 for 9 MB scan and $10 for a 25 MB file size. The 11x14 prints look good to me :-) Bill |
