I've been advised to use Peak Imaging for high contrast shots and Cibachrome (BPD) for low levels of contrast.
We've all seen Joe Cornish's rosmary topping shot used by BPD as a marketing tool. Am I mistaken or is that a shot with high contrast? I have some sunrise and twilight shots where the sky is obviously very bright in comparison to silhouetted objects and dark foreground. Aren't these high contrast?
Has anyone had similar shots printed by BPD?
Your advice will be gratefully received

I had one of my Stonehenge shots printed up at 36x24 inches by BPD recently. It was a dak foeground, silhouetted stones and an orange sunset background. It printed up beautifully although cost an arm and a leg to get framed!
One thing the chap at the framing shop said was the cibachromes are very delicate, and can be easily scratched by the tissue paper that BPD roll it up in. Looking at the surface of the print there were some very very fine scratches which were probably from where I had unrolled and rerolled the print.
