7. Does the lab tech/button masher even *know how* to make adjustments to
color and brightness? I don't know how many I've met who insist it can't
be done - 'til I show them how in the machine's instruction book. If
he/she seems resentful to have received the info, bye, screw ya' later...
8. What's their attitude when you ask them to correct and reprint a photo?
For example, even tho' I paid for a couple of reprints when a local
Wal-mart screwed up the color, the button masher did it with a shitty
attitude. Not a promising sign.
Lex, whoever that was in #7, in all likelihood you got that resentment
because you just showed the person something that _might_ require more work
in making prints than just mashing the buttons! Says something about who
they got and how they hired that person to operate the machine.
#7 and #8 are the reasons that I use the chromes nearly all the time. On
those occasions I don't, it's for very deliberate reasons and the
processing/printing now goes to a pro lab where I don't have to ask these
questions.
