Do you guys pay for development/scanning or are you doing some/all steps at home? I’m using analog photography as counterpart to my very display-centered work, so digitizing would be the last step after making a real darkroom print. Everything happens at home by myself. Downsides are the lack of images showing up here and maybe that I’m mostly limited to B/W.

I’ve been doing it all from home. I don’t do darkroom prints though. Scanning works enough for me at the moment. I’ve done darkroom in the past but probably won’t resume until I move from my current small apartment. I do mostly b/w but currently have some shot color rolls to knock out. I’ve got everything to also do color at home but a new small local shop opened few years back and I’ve been meaning to support them so I’ll occasionally buy film through them but also curious with their development. I’ll always do my own b/w but color scans from someone else are handy as I have a color deficiency and my color scans always come out a little shifted.

I never thought about the effect of color defiency on darkroom printing! Interesting to hear about that!

Develop at a lab, scan at home.

I go to a shop for all my needs. I really want to build up a darkroom at my house, but that will have to wait a while unfortunately.

I live next to one of the largest (maybe the largest?) film labs in N America, and am friends with a few of the staff. I use them to develop & scan.

I learned how to develop in school, but since life has gotten busier, I like being able to focus on shooting. Maybe later in life I can do more of the develop & scanning again.
