    Is anyone still doing Cibachrome?
    Is anyone using cibachrome/Ilfochrome these days? I had some professional prints done many years ago and the colors were so vivid. I am interested to know if anyone uses this process at home.

    That's a name I haven't heard in awhile. It used to sit on a pedestal back in the 80s and 90s. I printed it many times and yes, certain colors and contrasts really jumped out, esp reds.

    I don't even know if they make it anymore. I suspect they do but that it's market is so small that we just don't hear about it. But did they not require special developer, which was very toxic to be around all day..?

    Wow, things change.
