- Can others edit my Photos
- Photos NOT OK to edit
Hi all. This is my first post here...so please be gentle.
I'm thinking about getting back into color film photography. I used to take pics once in a while with our Rebel K2, and I always got them developed at a Walgreens-type store.
However, I never liked paying, what, like $6 per roll to develop my film. So, before I start photoging again, I want to find the most economical way to get my pics developed. These are my options, as I see them:
1) Suck it up and pay to have each roll developed at Walgreens or a similar store (or Ritz Camera if they do this type of thing).
2) Get the materials to develop the negatives, then pick and choose the negs I like and have them printed at the same type of store.
3) Go all in and buy materials for developing my own negs and making my own prints.
I have no experience developing film of any type, so that's a factor. But my main question is, is one method vastly more economical (OK, I'm cheap) than the others?
Thanks!:hail:
