==FAQ==
*'''Which pro labs are the best?'''
In Tokyo, Horiuchi Color and Pro Lab Create (which uses Fuji Film materials) are among the most patronized professional labs, especially in Tokyo. They have branches in other Japanese cities.
 
Anybody can use these pro labs, not only pro photographers. However, Horiuchi Color no longer processes film. If you want your film or print to be processed to exact specifications, use a pro lab. Most of these labs also offer digital imaging services.
 
*'''Where can I process film in Japan?'''
In Tokyo, only a handful of pro labs still process film. They include Pro Lab Create in Ginza and National Photo.
 
*'''What about other pro labs besides those listed in PhotoLabs?'''
Of course there are more pro labs than you see in the PhotoLabs listings.
 
*'''How do I communicate in Japanese at a pro lab or photofinisher?'''
See [http://photojpn.org/WAEI/dpe.html PhotoJapanese] and [http://photojpn.org/words/sup.html PhotoWords]. It teaches basic phrases and vocabulary that will come in handy when you deal with the lab or photofinisher. They include print sizes (5 x 7, 8 x 10, etc.).
