hey brother,

go easy on the advertising, ok?
we all know that u and Stanley Lim are some what associated and if so, then perhaps u should be taking a little bit more neutral stand on this and go easy on ur very enthuastic support.

drinks on u the next time! :cheers:

So far, I've been printing at Kim Tian Color for the past 8-9 months liao. But I'm always on the lookout for alternative Frontier labs with the kind of service/pricing for me. I've met a number of wedding photogs there too, though those are not all Clubsnap members...

Nets Imaging at IKEA? funny i never seem to hear anyone mention them before....i get very natural skin-tones from them, even better than Konota, IMHO. konota seems abit too sharp n contrasty for my liking. i'm not so sure about their digital prints though. yea, its kinda out of the way too haha!

hope this helps

hmm...nowadays for those shops that develops digital prints..

are they using the same machine to develop the photos irregardless of digital or negative prints?

cos i notice that thos normal negative prints also have very contrasty colors and looks quite fake (similar to digital prints..)

film used are fuji 200 to ISO800..

any ideas?
:think:

Hi Stereobox,

Hmmm.....I think you can try Lambda printing for digital output if you want to compare digital with negative. This is especially so if you need huge enlargements and used good digital cameras/ digital backs.

thanks for the tip..but pardon me for being ignorant..lambda is a shop or a technique? *paiseh* i say so because i have seen prints from the D100, S2Pro and 1Ds ... none of the prints (from a variety of shops) seem 100% satisfactory to me. D100 cos im using 1 myself, S2Pro and 1Ds prints from fellow photographers. either the skin is too flat (like 1 patch with no subtle tone with film) or purplish/magenta-ish? have yet to seen 1 from a digital back though.

hope to hear more about the lambda! thanks in advance!

Lambda refers to a very large format photographic printer - Durst Lambda. Print process is similar to those Fuji Frontiers (I think). Supposed you can send negs and slides and print them out to 40"x70" or thereabouts. Large format negs are also accepted.

Some lambda places
Alberts Digital (Chai Chee Ind)
RBG (Bugis)
Spectra (dunno)
Raffles Pro-Lab (Toa Payoh Ind)

Quality is darn good, but prices also. So far as I heard from ad pple who use them, Raffles has the best QC/eqpt. Alberts is the cheapest... - you shld be looking at $ per sq inch.

:think:

Some examples....they are the originals scanned from the lab...the potos are resized and smoothed with Neat Image due to the grains (but then the effect is quite close to the original prints(hardcopies, i mean..)

Fake

also, is it possible to have the labs do scanning and developing of the negatives only...meaning if i send in my negatives, i dont want to print to hardcopies first...just do the processing of negatives and scanning will do....

hiugher charges for this services? :think:

Hi,

On the topic of sending digital images to Fuji Frontier labs to print, is it better to send colour corrected images or to send images straight from the camera (with EXIF data)?

Am using a S2pro + Canon i950 at home, and realise that tweaking sharpness + contrast + levels/curves usually help to produce better prints than using Canon's EasyPrint. But it's slow and not cost effective to print numerous 4Rs at home, so would like to send some pics to print at the Fuji labs.

Pls advise. Thks!

Collected 100 digital prints from Konota. Can't be more disappointed.

Maybe the person adjusting the pics have something to do with it?

Anyone has any ideas which lab can do digital prints well?
