I just got back from a 1 week Caribbean cruise with a new OW cert card and 5 rolls of UW photos. I splurged and sent the pics in to Kodak Sea Processing and paid the extra $6 for photo CD (each). Total cost ~$17/roll of 24 pics. Kind of expensive.
Now, to be fair, the prints do have more snap than my last roll of UW (which were really blue/green/muted), but the Sea processing seems to add lots of red (the backscatter is red).
My only "real" complaint is the CD. The resolution is 1000x1500px. (1.5Mpx). Film has a huge equivalent pixel resolution. Why would Kodak make such small scans? I am really dissappointed that this wasn't mentioned anywhere to me when I ordered them (I reviewed everything and it simply isn't mentioned). Now, if I want to make larger prints, I have to scan the negatives myself, and lose the effects of the Sea Processing, or, of course, purchase them through Kodak ($$$).
Since I'm stuck with what I've got, I think the only solution is to scan the un-retouched negatives and try to mimic the processing. Any suggestions beyond just adding red?
