>The trade off here is that you are in control of the final image instead of a lab technician.
>Don't forget that most people shoot a LOT MORE images digitally than they did on film. This can also add to the time. -- >Best regards, Bruce True. But someone already mentioned some software for batch processing -- a plug-in to Photoshop, I believe (think it was Herb). I can see this will be an arena that will be more and more developed. Say, home printing you want to run off a bunch of 4X6's and are not that concerned with doing color adjustments or anything else. A batch processing method for sharpening in equal amounts for each image is possible. I think this is going to be an area of software that will blossom. Tremendously. A great deal. Lots of photographers are going to be annoyed with a lot of post processing. DSLRs could also have more custom sharpening settings. Built-in unsharpening masks that can be adjusted. Marnie :-) Unless some do already. But I expect that will blossom as well.
