CHROME has been
a leader in E-6 processing in San Diego since 1982. In 1988
the company opened CHROME DIGITAL SERVICES to provide a full-range
of support services in the emerging world of digital imagery.
In an industry of continually evolving technology, CHROME
regularly upgrades to the newest, most powerful equipment
available
The founding partners,
three photographers who could not find satisfactory film processing
through available vendors, credit the company's steady growth
to a consistent delivery of outstanding quality, efficient
turnaround, talented technicians and up-to-the-minute available
technology. |

"CHROME,
the photographer's oasis in a profession filled with mediocrity.
Since 1983 personal, professional, meticulous, flexible, inventive
and caring Chrome and Chrome Digital have helped me achieve
a level of success with my photography that I never knew possible.
They are my extended family -- dedicated partners in the pursuit
of creative excellence.
Anyone
who produces anything that records a still image needs to
go to CHROME. They are your first and final destination!"

| "For
almost 20 years, I have relied on CHROME for all of my E-6 processing
needs. It's no secret that, in this business, consistency and
dependability of film processing is key. For professional photographers,
there is no greater disappointment than a lab error on a once-in-a-lifetime
image. That is why I prefer CHROME. Their quality control, professionalism,
and attention to detail are unmatched. |
