Paul, Funny you should mention Dale Labs. While visiting my friend in Hollywood over Thanksgiving I attended the Dolphins - Chargers football game. I took my slides to Dale Labs to show my friend. He lives about five miles from them.
Their service was prompt and courteous. They seemed very professional. You could see that they are geared to mail order. Their 'foyer' is fairly small and their film selection - I was looking for b&w - was poor. Anyway, they handled my slides with no problems. I would recommend them, either walk-in or mail order.

As a result, I spend much less time tweaking my images -- in PhotoImpact. -- -- Though it's not mentioned anywhere in their website or order -- forms, they'll -- happily push process for $2. -- -- True, I have to wait more than a week to see my prints. But -- the results are -- worth it. The scans are so rich in detail that I can select -- a 15 percent -- fraction of the image and still have about a million pixels -- to play with. -- -- You can see their full range of services at their website: -- http://www.dalelabs.com -- -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] --
