how to indicate 2 or more print in the CDROM for digital print?

ekardo · 16th October 2002

I always put in different folder..

for example, in directory 1, all one print
in directory 2, all 2 print..

but I find it hard to explain to the shop...esp when they doesn't know what is folder or directory!

any idea how to do it??

In the CD-ROM, label folders as follows:

4Rx5
4Rx1
5Rx2

etc.

Put those you need 1 copy into 4Rx1, 5 copies into 4Rx5, etc. The operator should understand. If the counter person cannot understand, go to another lab.

I always print out a table of filenames & quantity (using excel or whatever) and insert into the jewel case. Since its just like the conventional film reprints sheet, I think most labs would understand....

Just make sure you don't send them a CD of all your images (e.g. 400), then have a list of 50 and make them sit down and match filenames (more tedious than choosing negative frames). They will usually not do it.

s1762, forget the auntie labs. Go to a more decent one where the counter person understands you.

Usually I just make a copy of the picture with a different file name. so I might have 50 picture files on the CD but in fact I only have 24 unique pictures. some picture will be duplicated(> 1 print).

I also make multiple copies of the same picture file if i want more copies.. so i just tell the photoshop.. 1 photo each..

well...to make copies of the same file in the same directory would be the easiest I guess...

a bit dumb..but safest...

thanks for all the comment!

The worst thing that can happen in this instance is that the fella operating the machine thought it's a duplicate and skip it for you.
