Sure---one of the reasons I love shooting slides.
But both a slide and a negative will hold more tonal range than can be
printed. So the decision as to what part of the tonal range is to be
printed has to be made by someone.
If some of you have found a minilab that will do uncorrected prints,
and that works for you, that's great, and so it should (for most
subjects). I haven't had much luck (so I settle for a contact sheet
when I need to see each image at the same exposure, or go to a scanner
and see for myself).
