Considering how PS can manipulate so many factors I guess labs can too.
Lesson learned.

As Daffy Duck said, oh so long ago, "Ah, hah! Semantics!"
If you scan a negative, you automatically lose a bit of sharpness. In
results from 3 drugstores, my small .jpgs (at 150dpi which is
LOW), all of them showed artifacts of over-sharpening.
"Sharpening" is an enhancement and I guess all 3 drugstores dialed in
LOTS of it. The edges of objects look artificial. I'm not
speaking for anyone but myself, but to please me, they could have
"turned down the sharpening process" a bit. I might have asked
them to "reduce the sharpness" but that wouldn't mean I'd get a blurry
picture. I would be hoping to have fewer artificially-added
oversharpening artifacts.
See?
