allo,
I've just spent a good while trying to figure out how to say "photo developer" - as in someone/something that processes your rolls of film into photos. I actually want to say a 'one hour photo' - but I don't know what you'd call that in russian, if you'd call that anything. but I've thrown the context around a bit, and need "photo developer" instead.
thanks, if you can help me. :)

They normally say "отдать пленку в проявку и печать", literally "to submit your film for developing and printing".

Фото за час.
Мгновенное фото.

Ever seen street signs like this? :)

It's normally something like "Фотолаборатория".

Yup, plenty of "Фото за час" them here in St. Pete.

well.. depends on what you need to say
if you are talking about a solution you put your film into to develop it is "проявитель" or you can use a photo slang word "девеллопер"
if you are talking about someone who develops it - it is usually "лаборант" (a member of laboratory staff), or "проявщик" (really uncommon, i am not sure it is not afruit of my own fantasy), or "сотрудник лаборатории" (neutral - means anyone who is workingin a lab)
if you are talking about a place where you can develop a film or print your photos, it is "минилаб", "экспресс фото", "фотоэкспресс", "лаборатория", "фото за час"

hmmm. well I want to say "I developed photos (in a one hour photo store)." I think I will just find some way to use фото за час instead, now that I know it exists. :)

спасибо!

i guess you'd better say я напечатала фотографии в минилабе. "фото за час" is more like a sign on a minilab =)
