Point 3 isn't valid either. If lab processing is the way you want to go, you can drop off a memory card at any halfway decent lab and pick up your prints in a couple of hours. The minilab that used to process my color neg film claims they can produce even nicer prints from best quality jpegs. I haven't had any reason to try them, but I might. But even when I was shooting color film, I regarded those prints as nothing more than proofs. I would then scan the best frames and make my own prints. I never found a lab that did a better job at a reasonable price. Paul On Jul 1, 2006, at 1:30 PM, Jack Davis wrote:
