Perhaps the printers I use have a channel in the machine set up for it. I have found by enquiring and looking at the results that quite a few labs have their machines set to boost reds a bit to give warmer skin tones to please the general masses. I think it pays to question the lab closely as to what their practices are. By doing this I was able to find out that I could ask my local lab them to print my neg films with no exposure or colour correction (they use a Fuji machine) and they oblige. One thing that puzzles me is that I have been told that the machines can only vary the exposure by a full stop. This seems a bit coarse to me.
