LOL @ pro OTUC film

i have a 3490 that we just bought... it's not listed so I guess I can't scan medium. crap.

i like juergen's PSed result, that's the "nice" i'm talking about :P

okay. how do I tell mine I WANT this effect. this is lovely, i like it, how about i send you some rolls to give to them to "ruin."

 

the pictures look "old," sort of. nice :)

lol, can't or won't, as far as meat juices are concerned.... and what is "safety film"?

why is it called rebate edge?

i use portra 400 NC in my Hawkeye Flash all the time and get perfect pictures, indoor flash or outdoors. what's the problem?

Hawkeye Flash :)

<i>". One is that while some minilab equipment IS capable of handling 120, the people running it only know about 35mm and simply don't deviate from their limited training regardless of what the equipment might be able to do. "</i>

 

I resent that comment. I work in a walgreens 1hr and while I know that your comment applies to 99% of the idiots what work in our photocentres, it certainly doesn't apply to me.

 

Consider I almost got fired for processing my 120 film in our processor :P

 

If I could get ahold of a 120 mask for the Frontier I could print it too.... *sigh*

"Some operators of mini-labs are very dedicated and would be insulted by coments that catorgise them. "

 

i totally agree. i hate it when people tell me "dont mess up my pictures" when they know I always give them back perfect worjk

wtf, your walgreens is still using fuji paper?????

 

i thought we all switched to kodak. kodak edge generations = toilet paper

if you take it to a 1hr drugstore photolab they won't give a rats. i'm willing to bet that the're going to come out very dark looking, and the incompetent toddlers running the photolab won't know how to make the machine read them...

 

I like it when customers drop off really old film like that, cuz I get to show off :P

at least in Texas it seem all stores have transferred to kodak chemicals. well truly, it's a big fat botchup.

 

ALL of the stores had a "do by or die" date by when they were supposed to officially be using nothing but kodak. e.g. no fuji paper or chemistry still left over. WELL, stores kept getting fuji chemmies plus kodak paper, or the slow stores still had a lot of fuji stock. well, for some reason we got like 10 cases of 5in FCA, and have a bunch of mismatched Fuji chemmies (for another Frontier).

 

so anyway, long story short, I see an email floating around from our regional supervisor, telling stores to just go ahead and use the remaining fuji stuff until it runs out; to "temporarily" switch back to Fuji. which is what we SHOULD have done in the first place. NOW we have all this nearly-stale Fuji chemicals and paper. no one listens to me when I told them that they need to put the 5in in the freezer, because it's already showing moderate signs of color shifting; it's not a brilliant white anymore, it's more of a white-shirt-after-10-washings kind of white. it's not bad enough to affect image quality (at least not noticeably) but it's gonna get there. the densitometer doesn't seem to notice, though. whenever I have to open, I run the calibration on each magazine, "just because." but esp because they like to forget about it, and then like a week later I see "Paper setup conditions not done in the past 10 days" ....

i just handle it by the edges. LOL.

what would you guys say about prints from a Frontier? on Crystal Archive? I often hear that the "drugstore" paper isn't the best, etc because it's so high contrast... I got really good results (well at least I thought :( ) from CA.

HAHA, I processed 3 rolls of brownie 120 film (Portra 400 NC) in our FP363SC-AL minilab... I got caught and got in BIG trouble for it, LOL. even though it CLEARLY said "C-41" my head photo supervisor got screechy about it (she's the lady who doesn't know how to use a picker, or didn't know that you could retouch pictures in frontier).

 

She took away the 120 cartridge... they hid it from me. :(

 

Look around your whore-mart photocentre the next time you're there; I've seen a 120 carrier a couple of times in some stores, but their photo manager vehemently denies the ability to print 120. if only we had it, and the mirror box... bwahahaha

the teacher sounds like our head photo specialist

 

 

*off with her head!*

I work at Walgreens. We switched to Edge toiletpaper and I've (no one else has, though) noticed a decline in print quality. I remember the vivid, glorious prints that used to come out with FCA... and the nice glossy finish. Edge is a horrid paper, digital prints don't look digital. It tries to lend this slight slight "dreamlike" blur effect to every image that's printed; but I'm thinking that it's because it's not Fuji paper, optimised for digital exposure systems.

 

One good thing about kodak chemistry is that i've noticed our filters are cleaner; the paper "sheds" less. We have 5 inch FCA, 6, 8, and 4in Edge. We've got about 10 cases of 5in that are slowly going bad. The roll that's in the magazine is already losing its brilliant white, it looks slightly yellow (and no one believes me).

Oops!! Nevermind. Sorry for dredging up an old thread. A few Googles later and I have it: Technicolour!

I just saw "The Birds" ...... It was on Turner so they cut the credits to like 10 seconds and I didn't get to see what process it was.

 

I'm cleaning up my drool as I type. That's EXACTLY how I want my photos (and movies) to look.

sensia is a wonderful film. the only problem I found is that on the frontier 340 it scans with a bit of a magenta cast... other than that it's a fabulous film

really???? i use 400 and the images come out perfect. nice, strong exposures. i'm almost afraid to try 160 and see severe overexposure

be nice! I work at WAG and won't print pro photos... I get yelled at, but still

LOL @ having to dig them out of the bottom of a tank.

 

what kind of machine is it? I've run 110 through a fuji FP363SC-AL succesfully. i guess perhaps you need more control than what a minilab could offer you.

okay. it's a noob question but can someone explain "pushing" and "pulling" to me? :(
