Hello
Sometimes I want the film-days back. Imagine how easy it is to shoot
some film and have a good lab develop the prints. The lab will
darken the too bright images, correct colors and brighten the to
dark images. Then you choose the 10 % best and send them for
scanning. Then you give the CD to your client.
No more long hours at the computer converting or editing all your
RAW files, tagging them, filing them, changing hard drives etc. for
your images. Just give the client the prints and the CD. Get paid.
End of story!
Those where the days, ehh?
Um, no. I never found a lab that could print a negative the way I saw
it. Even the best labs relied on their vision of what a shot should
be, not mine. That's why I shot a lot of BW and risked poisoning my
system with chemicals, day after day, for hours on end.
And scanning? Unless I paid top dollar for drum scans at the pro lab,
the results were crap. I had to scan myself and couldn't really afford
the best equipment, particularly for medium format.
Those were not the days.
