It can much depend on the lab. I just met my lab's operator at an outdoor concert (it was raining :) except to see some photos on the web soon) and he told me to bring pictures in Adobe RGB 1998. So I guess theirs go trough some program first. So far the pictures I sent them came out good. There was a website offering custom profiling of home printers, and they also offered free profiles (from printed IT8.7 targets people snailmailed them) for many US and Canadian digital labs. I don't know if it's still online, but you could have a look. Best regards, Frantisek Vlcek
