I've got ~ 15 rolls of 35mm color print film that I need to get developed.
In addition, I want to get the photos in digital form.

When I did this a couple years ago (got the CD along with the prints), the
digital images I got looked terrible! They were very grainy, etc. I am
hoping to get digital images of high quality, so that others can print the
digital images and get good quality prints.

Can anyone recommend a place to get the developing done that gives good
quality digital images as well? Whether it be Walgreens, or mailing the
film off, etc.

Thanks,
Joel

You need a pro lab. IF you are in a decent sized city there should be
more than one. Tell them you want developing and hi-res scans. Not sure
about the states but in Italy the labs scan each photo twice, one marked
Web and the other marked Hi-Res. Maybe you can find a lab that will do
the same.

Interesting thing about film...when you scan grainy film you get grainy
scans. Some walmarts have a fairly high quality scanning services.

I did some test prints at Target earlier this year (they did remarkably
well for cheap kodak paper). The images were JPEG and about 1.5MB each
if I recall. I think they were sufficient for consumer 4"x6" prints.

Ask for either 4base or 16base scans.
If they are done on a Frontier system ask for Low 1 or 2 on Sharpness
