Re: Package prints
While I would love to see prints standardized on one proportion, right now my greater concern is the fact that a decreasing number of people who take digital are even bothering to make prints. As quickly as it became easy to get one hour prints at every kind of store it can become hard to find anyone to do the work as businesses discover that more and more images are being kept in softcopy only. People have photos on digital frames, home computers and cell phones more every day and fewer people get 2 - 4x6 prints of every shot. That business is what made it possible to get 4x6 prints for 15 cents. I wonder if we will see a time when any prints will be the venue of custom labs. Wedding albums are going the way of press printed custom books; grandma's get the kids via email. I wonder how soon we all will all be watching our still photo work on 50 inch TV's during the commercials and packing away all the photo albums to mold in the basement?
