Re: Prints from slides questions

[dick graham]

Ritz Camera Stores uses the Fuji Frontier system to make quick prints from slides. I have found that the results are quite good. There is some loss of detail and color saturation, but all in all quite acceptable. By the way I've only had 4X6 prints made there and they charge $1.00 per print.

I've been shooting a lot of slides lately and took a few to a local digital
print place for some quick enlargements. I didn't expect them to measure up
to a custom print but I didn't expect them to be trash either. I thought I'd
get something usable from a commercial lab but they were awful. No contrast,
colors were off, highlights were washed out. Just terrible.

My experience too. I took a 67 velvia slide in to Blacks to get an enlargement made. I'd tried scanning the slide on my HP flatbed without much success (unmounted, I couldn't keep it flat enough).
Terrible print.
I've now taken it somewhere else to see if the results are any better.
(of course it could just be that my slide's rubbish!)
