One of the ways they acheive this is by carefully produced contrast masques. Before you dismiss Cibachrome out of hand, you might give them a try for one of these "unprintable" chromes. My personal recommendation is Portland Photographics in Portland Maine. info@portphoto.com or www.portphoto.com rwyble@erols.com Richard J. Wyble <<< Richard, No question, a good contrast mask would work wonders with several of my unprintable chromes. There are other photos which have significant damage (scratches and even gouges) or were made with light that had extreme color casts that only a trip through Photoshop made the images worth printing. If I really want a Cibachrome of my digitized photos, there's a lab in Las Vegas that's running Cibachrome in their LightJet 5000. I won't send one of my chromes that far away but I have no problem sending a digital file out for printing. Doug Herr Sacramento http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/telyt
