They promised TIFFs. I paid, and to my surprise I got a SINGLE CD. It was JPEGs at q=70 and at barely 1000DPI. It&#8217;s what I get from my flatbed at home. Complained, sent it back in, again got a CD, but I saw already n the lab, that it has very little data on it (you can actually guess it just looking at the CD, the recorded area looks different from a blank cd-r). Suspecting the worst I put the CD in the drive: yes, these are just repackaged JPEGs. Exactly what I got before, just contained in TIFF container witha ll the JPEG compression. Complained again, heard: `you expected 6MPIX at that price? How stupid of you, 6MPIX costs much more than that.&#8217; EXCUSE ME?<\/li>\n<li>Well, I gave up on them and warned people, yesterday I was put in a hopeless situation though: I needed a roll developed and I needed it badly, and it was 7pm, so only 1-hour lab could do it. I didn&#8217;t need prints, I didn&#8217;t need scans, I just needed a bath of developer. I risked. They DID develop the film. They also managed to get a gret bunch of scratches, dust, water stains and&#8230; HAIR? Whatever, looks like beard shaves anyway. I scanned the film rightaway, but after an hour of dustpicking I just bathed the whole roll in distilled water with conditioner and let it dry, it was hopeless.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>But if you like such treatment, go on, use PHOTO PORST KARLSRUHE.<\/p>\n<p>Whatever.<br \/>\nAnyway, here are few shots from this roll, mainly winter photos:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" id=\"image62\" src=\"http:\/\/www.biasedlogic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/02\/2006-02-21%2021-00-51%208172.jpg\" alt=\"Reutlingen - winter mist\"\/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"image64\" src=\"http:\/\/www.biasedlogic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/02\/2006-02-21%2021-04-53%208191.jpg\" alt=\"Reutlingen - small bridge in the park at Carl Diem Strasse\"\/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"image65\" src=\"http:\/\/www.biasedlogic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/02\/2006-02-21%2021-03-47%208185.jpg\" alt=\"2006-02-21 21-03-47 8185.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"image67\" src=\"http:\/\/www.biasedlogic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/02\/2006-02-21%2021-03-18%208182.jpg\" alt=\"steps\"\/><\/p>\n<p>and one snapshot portrait of Xinyi:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" id=\"image66\" src=\"http:\/\/www.biasedlogic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/02\/2006-02-21%2021-07-44%208205.jpg\" alt=\"Xinyi - mirror shot\"\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s time for a big RANT.
