The Last Hurdle of Digital Imaging

One may argue whether digital imaging has any improvement ever since. The development is mostly applications. Yes, there are more users giving up film and take up the digital camera.

As said, the printing of digital photos is the major cause for digital imaging to succeed. With acceptable price and proven quality, there is almost the same as films.

However, there is problem for printing quality. We have announced that Mr. F. H. Tong is working on printing photo with Photo Kiosk. From the research, Mr. Tong found that the same problem existed for digital images as films before. If there is no consistent quality, users may be upset with the printed photos that are not only entirely different from what they expected, the worst thing is that nothing can be controlled.

Mr. Tong said that this is the last hurdle for digital imaging and must be solved as soon as possible. The solution, he said, is the knowledge of how prints were made. Since users do not know much and therefore it is difficult to demand anything from the labs. One thing is great about photo kiosk. Users can take control of everything with the thermal prints because this choice will not involve any work from those technicians of the lab.

Digital Photo

Digital Photography may not be so successful if there is no Internet. Whether for commercial or personal application, sending images through the Internet or presenting digital photos online has been a common practice today.

Most, if not all, will prefer digital cameras instead. The Film Era is about to end.

Of course, the elders would miss the film or still reject to use digital camera. Digital photos in their mind are not photos.

It is interesting to know what is the future of digital photos. Will it be developed into something unknown to us or just replacing the film?

Some years ago, we have seen the photo finishing business moving down. Digital photos are not necessarily in printed form. There was less printing of bad images. No matter what that means, there was less waste of material for unwanted prints.

Photo Kiosk suddenly becomes a hit last year in America. This type of self service printing is not a new thing. In fact, similar design had been introduced a long time ago, even before the digital photography. That was not successful because users always found that the cost for bad prints was too much.

One thing is certain, the trend will no longer be lead by manufacturers any more.
