It's unfortunate that people accept digi images the way they are. I guess if the image is in color and reasonably sharp its OK. When Wal^%$ or Walgre&^% is backed up with a line of people waiting to use the kiosk to make their own snapshots, they come to my place and expect to do the same. Sorry... (Not Sorry), You leave the chip and I'll print the images. Don't know which ones to print they say. How many are on the chip I say. I don't know, 300 or 400 or so they say. So they want to use my equipment and look through the chip just to find a few they want printed in 1 hour or less for 20 cents each, take up all my time talking about composition and cropping blah blah blah......
I'm just not interested. When the old Agfa MSC200 quits for the last time, There will likely be no more digi prints here. Film developed printed by optical means, by machine or hand only.
As a side note, Notice how even television images are accepted? Bold contrasty, over saturated colors with odd display ratios and annoying flicker or refresh rates that make one dizzy and can't or won't make a proper circle or people that look normal? Tires on cars turn into eggs on each side of the screen or appear to be running flat across the entire screen. People appear only 5 feet tall and weigh 300 pounds. The general public is completely brainwashed and accept this crap.
Either they don't care or don't know any better.
ANYWHOO.... Sorry for the rant. I know everyone is not affected this way, it is just a pet peeve of mine....
