- Can others edit my Photos
- Photos NOT OK to edit
I’m hoping to get some advice on getting enlargements ( 36”x36” and up) that have better resolution, and color from my 120 color and also black/white negatives. I’ve been using National photo, and supplying them with high resolution scans, but I’m dissatisfied with the 36x36 prints from them- they lack the same strong color and sharpness I really want. This color and clarity is alive on the negatives, and I’m aware that the bigger you go, you can lose some of the quality on the way.
I’m considering using a guy who has a drum scanner for the negs, but would that help produce a better, brighter digital print? He charges I think $40 for a drum scan of a single negative, so I’m hoping for suggestions from the community. Any suggestions? Using different process? I cannot find an actual darkroom to do it the old fashioned way with an enlarger, so how can I do it?
