3.Costco

 

*  Some students have had problems with underdeveloped negatives from Costco

 

*  Important –different film development methods, for color class, specify that you want negatives for traditional photo process.

 

 

***Be careful about Photo stores that say they can make prints in 30 minutes or less.  They are probably using a procedure that underdevelops the negatives and automatically corrects them and prints them digitally.  This leaves you with bad negatives for printing in the darkroom.
