Just a quick note: I just picked up prints from Prolab here in Fremont
yesterday, and WOW! Are they ever beautiful! Even though it was $11 for a
roll of 24, I don't think I'll ever use the local drug store/Safeway/Walmart
again. They are that nice.
Any thoughts, comments from others re pro vs. the usual?
Well, I totally stopped using the one-hour and big mall kind of labs.
Every effort you've put into your pictures comes back greenish or
redish or just plain dullish. If one film is OK you can be certain
the next one (same brand/speed) is a catastrophy. I always get an
index-sheet (is that the english word for the whole film on one
paper?) made by a tiny, personal lab. It costs as much, you get the
colours right, and you see the _whole_ composition of every picture.
(I hate it when they cut away millimeters in the factory labs.) I
then aftercopy only the pictures I like.
Of course I can do this only because I'm not good enough yet to
succeed with more than three or four shots per roll, so the few extra
bucks it cost to aftercopy is no big deal;-)
