Thanks guys, you are the BEST !!! I am going to try one and all suggestions, will see what happens and post the answer in case some other poor individual happens to come along with the same problem !!

The thing is that it was done once before, using an interneg process, the picture was amazing, so while it may be unlikely, it is possible. I guess I assumed someone would know about how it could have been done the first time??

Posting a new message, I didn't articulate my original question very

well and didn't get any responses when I added clarification...

 

 

I guess while I am asking, I might as well go ahead and ask why the

interneg process would be worse than digital. It seems the best

process is using a negative, so in the case where a negative is

created (internegative) from the picture, why wouldn't that be

better than just a straight digital blow-up? It doesn't make sense

to me ???

 

Sorry for the confusion, I assumed because it was large format forum

that it would be implied.

 

 

 

I have a photograph (the negative has been lost) that I want to

enlarge to 4x6, it had been done before at an in-house lab and was

good quality using an interneg process- not very grainy and the

colors were magnificant. It was destroyed in an unfortunate moving

accident and I need to replace it. I brought it to Robyn color and

the test strip using a digital enlargement was horrible and they

told me the interneg would be worse. So I am willing to spend

however much money it costs to have a good one made but Robyn came

as the highest recommended place in the Bay Area. But I don't know

much about any of this and don't know if what they say is true, can

someone recommend a process and place anywhere in the US that I can

use, preferably in the Bay area- but am willing to go elsewhere for

higher quality.

 

Thanks !!

ALso, I thought I had already posted this (earlier as an addtion) but I meant 4x6 FEET, not inches. Sorry for the confusion, I assumed because it was large format forum that it would be implied.
