I am looking for a Photo/Video lab which will take IFF files and
convert them into comercial quality color slides. I have tried
getting in contact with Philadelphia Video Lab but no answer.
Does anyone know of any local (Mass/NH/RI) or US based labs that
will perform this service from Amiga disks.
Thanks,
John

I'm not sure what you mean by commercial quality, but I'd check into
you local learning center. The one where I used to work in LMO had a
Polaroid Palatte system on a PRO or Rainbow. It may be possible to
convert the images to sixel or some other format and then make the
slides with this. Never looked into this myself though...
This would probably limit you to 16 colors though or maybe even
worse :-).

It's actually not that hard to do yourself. I have made lots of
high quality 35 mm slides off my monitor. Use a long lens (>100mm
focal length) to minimize the apparent curvature of the screen.
The hardest part is getting the room dark enough so there are no
reflections off the screen. I use Ektachrome 100, ball park for
exposures of a 1080 monitor at normal brightness levels is about
1/4 second at f/8. Your mileage may vary, so calibrate it yourself.
Most modern exposure systems are fast enough to track the raster
scan, so you may have to actually take some pictures rather than
rely on your exposure meter. Don't use shutter speeds faster than
1/15 second to avoid vertical retrace bars, and if you're real picky,
bracket exposures. You'll need a tripod of course, and need to take some
care that the lens is properly aligned with the screen (lens axis aimed
at the screen's center, perpendicular to the plane of the screen).
If you have any facility with photography, and some minimal equipment
(tripod, 105mm or 135mm lens), you can save a lot of time and money
by doing it yourself. I have had no problems with colors, curvature,
blooming, contrast etc.. It just works, and the results are quite
impressive.
