Does Kodak perfect touch make difference? Since it's much more
expensive than the regular in Walmart.
If so, it only works on Kodak film, or for other brand films as well?

Thanks!

It works on any film and I think it's a considerable step down in Kodak
processing. I prefer Snapfish.

Hi JZ,

Yes, it does, JZ, it works with all C41 films, and it is quite a nice
feature. You can learn more about it by going to the following link on the
Kodak website.

Talk to you soon, let me know if there are questions.

My problem with Perfect Touch processing is that the negatives don't seem to be
scanned at a high enough resolution. Skin tones seem very "digital" and
blocked, without smooth transitions between the tones. When I have local camera
shops scan the negs on either Fuji Frontier or Noritsu digital machines, the
prints are beautiful, and look very similar to optical printing, without these
digital artifacts. Ron, perhaps you can comment on this?

The lab you sent it to most likely set their printers at a lower resolution
in order to speed up their printers.

Volume of work probably exceeds their window time.
