Always buy from a dealer you know and trust

Had a long time customer in the lab today. She just got her first digital camera about 6 weeks ago. Bought a Canon 20D and she was really excited because she saved over $200 by buying it online. I asked her if she knew much about the dealer or if it was a USA model [...]

Photocenter Home Kiosk

Doesn't that look familiar to users of the ExpressDigital software? The more that I use this stuff the more I think that people are going to like it when we roll it out next month. It is available for download now from bbcolorlabs.com though we haven't yet begun our marketing.

XnView over ACDSee

ACDSee 5 in full screen mode is great for image editing. Full screen display is nearly instantaneous and it makes very short work of culling through hundreds and hundreds of images. I have passed on upgrading ACDSee. I don't really have a reason why. I heard of the software being full of bugs, but that [...]

TEPS vs. ExpressDigital Part II

Support costs too much, the software costs too much, Photoreflect costs too much. If you think that Express should just give away all of [...]

New Photoreflect Screen Shots

Here are just a few screen shots of the redesigned Photoreflect.com theme. This is only one of who knows how many themes. I think that it is a vast improvement. No firm word just yet on when the new updates will be released. End of March? I think that some time in April is more [...]

The Lab As Photographer

Here it is:
"I work my side of the street and you work mine and yours?"
Well, I guess that is what I am saying. There can be no doubt that print volume to the labs in this industry are down. You could read the numbers for yourself if you had access. Trust me. Print volumes are [...]
