I don't know if this is real, but someone told me there is a program or something that you can get to transfer pictures from a photo card and convert them into negatives. So that you can develop them just like regular film. Is there such a thing, or is this person high?
In my opinion your friend is in outer space. So, let me ask you a question, why would want to do that? Simply print them on your own at home or take them to Walgreens, Wal Mart, etc., why go through all the hassle and expense of your description.
Can't think of one reason to do this...photographic perm. inks are earth pigment, do not fade, certainly better than the best color print paper (these things fade over time since they are organic dyes. ) If you want lasting photographs, ask for archive quality prints.
