Dear all,
I have just finished shooting my first color film and is ready to decide what I can do.
In the old times (15 years ago) I would take it on my closest photo store and take prints.
1. If I understand it right today I can ask them to get back the negatives plus the fotos on a cd without having any print
2. Is it possible that I can also get the scanned negatives and perhaps process those negatives as the raw files?
3. Is there any other option for those not having dark room and would allow more control in post processing software?
I would like to thank you in advance for your reply
Regards

Well maybe in Germany, you can do the same as what we do in the UK when trying something for the first time.....We buy Agfa Vista film for £1, then take it to a supermarket and they will develop and scan to a CD in JPG files for £3 while you shop. You can then adjust the JPG files in say Photoshop if needed, also depending on the care of the operator you might have to touch up some dust spots. _________________ Canon A1, AV1, T70 & T90, EOS 300 and EOS300v, Chinon CE and CP-7M.

That is true, I do it all the time then make better scans as the supermarket ones are pretty low resolution. Family photos I get printed. Sometimes the scans from the prints can be better than the neg scans. Ask for glossy, the print quality is finer and isn't broken up by the surface texture of matt paper

I don't know if anyone scans negs as RAW files. You will have to be content with a high quality jpg if it were available

You don't really need a darkroom if you are using a lab to develop and scan. Photoshop or Gimp are fine pieces of software and will do almost anything you want. Lots of tutorials are available online for both of them.

sorry, now I understand
I think you could invest to some negative scanner.
Depending where you live used ones are very cheap. I think from 10€ up, new ones are under 100€ anyways.
Just check that you get the scanning software too, because reversing colours and removing orange is painful with gimp. _________________ MF: Kodak DCS SLR/c; Samsung NX10; OM-10; Canon T50

Last time they wanted about 1 euro for c-41 plus you had to take one print in 9x13 I think, adds up to about 3 bucks, you'll get the negative strips stuffed without further ado in front of the prints. Doesn't matter much where you drop them, they seem to be all CW resellers, or in exceptional cases Eurocolor/Fuji Gera)
Never tried CD, they wanted extra monies, they scan them anyway in order to "optimize" the prints (if you shoot at night adjusted to dark frame -3.0, you will get optimized fog soup at +0.0 - don't want that, shoot E6). |

I think your best bet is to get the film developed and scanned to CD for this first try-out, to see how you have done and whether you want to persevere. As you try more films you can get a better idea of how far you want to go with scanning and processing the results.
For posting on the internet, the supermarket/lab scans give enough resolution, and I have successfully printed them at A4 size. _________________ Lots of 35mm Film Cameras
