That is what is so strange to me. I mean logically I get how the machine needs a color range (wheel) to set a color standard, but it still seems weird -- counterintuitive that one roll of one color would create problems.< the computer that does this isn't very smart. older color processors would be set a few times a day, whenever the operator noticed something off about "normal" prints that are coming through, ones where the operator can make a judgement as to whether the prints they are packing away look right or not. with digital minilabs, the computer inside can adjust for every roll or every frame, if so programmed. if the operator is lazy or doesn't know how to, the computer inside can be told to assume that everything coming through is meant to be processed as "average" and to "make the colors right". when you take your first course on scanning and digital manipulation of slides and negatives, all will become clear.
