I stand corrected about Jessops, MMc – thank you. But I have had irreplacable films wrecked by High Street shops, unfortunately. And it has to be said I did wonder if anyone would misunderstand what I meant about ‘specialist’ processing; I actually amended my reply to Ivan about 4 times before I sent it ( obviously didn’t work ! ).:o

Yes, the term “Glamour” is wide reaching !! 🙂

Apropos of high-street processing, you are right – you have to pick carefully or your pics will just be be batch processed along with holiday snaps.

However, bulk batch processing allows for cheap prices – i have worked on both sides bulk processing (Kodasnaps) and in several professional laboritories. The price increase from a pro lab buys you more technician time which in turn buys you more care and attention.

You do find that many of the high-street outlets do have the facility to send films to a pro-lab, but they dont unfortunatly always advertise this very prominently
