Choose digital or film for wedding photos.

With the increasing popularity of digital technology, many studios have launched digital wedding dresses, and some studios simply take digital wedding photos. It is predicted that after 2008, digital photography will basically replace traditional photography. In this regard, industry experts believe that traditional film shooting still has its irreplaceable advantages, and the conclusion that "digital will replace film" is still too early.

Stand up and shoot, stand up and show all kinds of tricks.

"Digital photos are easy to save, and a CD can store thousands of photos. It is also easy to pass it on to friends, and an email is completed. Compared with the development and imaging of traditional photos, I don't know how much faster. " A photographer in a studio told the author like this.

According to reports, compared with traditional photo studios, digital photo studios have many advantages, mainly in:

1. Instant shooting: In traditional photography, customers can't see the photos on the spot, and it usually takes several days to see the effect; Now, you can shoot and watch it immediately. If you are wrong or dissatisfied with the photo, you can delete it on the spot. In addition, the functions of instant shooting and instant projection are also beneficial for guests to make adjustments at any time.

2. Improve secondary consumption: Without the cost of film, photographers can take more photos according to the customer's package. For customers who are short of time, they can select films on the same day, which not only improves work efficiency, but also saves customers' time. However, if the customer's time permits, it is still recommended to choose the film in a few days, so that the photos can be adjusted to the best effect, which is very helpful to enhance the customer's secondary consumption.

3. Various photo output media such as gold foil, silver foil, gold sand, silver sand, spun silk, crystal and transparent film, as well as various photo output methods such as digital photo albums, greeting cards and electronic photo albums are more attractive to customers.

4. Long-term preservation: Traditional negatives and photos are often prone to fading and negative film adhesion, while digital images are preserved for a long time, and good printing paper can also ensure that they will not fade for decades.

Traditional photos

Strong expressive force of color saturation

Although the advantages of digital photos are quite obvious, in the eyes of many people in the industry, it is still too early to conclude that the digital age has arrived. One is the high cost of digital equipment, and the other is that the tolerance of digital photos is still not big enough.

Liu Shifeng, general manager of Guangzhou Taipei Accord Photography Store, said: "People in the industry can tell the photos taken by film and digital at a glance, and ordinary consumers can also see that digital photos obviously have the taste of digital."

It is understood that although the traditional film will lose some pixel values when scanning the negative film, the image clarity will be reduced, but it is still clearer than the photos taken by digital cameras. However, this difference in definition will only be obvious when the photo is enlarged to more than 20 inches.

"At this stage, digital photos can't compete with traditional photos in terms of clarity, texture, level and color saturation." Many photographers say that darker or brighter light will cause some details of the image to be lost. In the case of more colors and complex light sources, the effect of traditional cameras is obviously much better than that of digital cameras. "Related links

Digital transformation is not "upgrading"

In view of the current consumer psychology and market factors, photography experts suggest that people who want to enlarge their photos to more than 30 inches are suitable to choose traditional film shooting; And those who pursue unlimited personalized creativity and want to do a lot of post-production can choose digital wedding photos.

In response to the slogan of "all upgraded to digital photography" played by some photo studios, experts believe that this is actually misleading consumers, and digital should not be called "upgrade". The two kinds of photography can't be compared in grade, but the carrier is different. Both have their own strengths and advantages.
