    Using a hybrid workflow for 'clients'.

    I'm thinking of taking up some offers to do portraits for payment, just to allay some costs basically. Last year I did a wedding as a gift and used a hybrid workflow with output onto inkjet (I got 'proofs' from a 1 hour supermarket processor !) and it worked pretty well.
    However I am a little unsure as to wether people are so used to getting the results on a screen to look at that they won't accept this aspect of film processing. As far as I can see it's the only part of film that is a concern - I'd expect a 2 day max turn around for slides etc. so speed would not be a problem - I don't intend to justify my costs in terms of speed any way.
    Has anyone here any experience of this 'problem' ?

    Cheers CJB

    I did a similar hybrid workflow for years (shooting architecture), but got tired of all the scanning (in house). As a result, I decided to do the bulk of my commercial work with digital capture. It saves one big step (scanning), makes my pricing more competitive (film and processing). Before I was having to charge for film, Polaroids, processing and scanning. Now I just charge a per image capture fee which works out to be less.
