Mini-lab prints from film are, for me, only proofs. Often I only ask for a CD. My weakness is the fact that I have a version of Photoshop and minimal resistance when it comes to allowing another to "process" my images. Can't imagine turning over a card full of images to a mini-lab. Maybe at an in-law birthday party and lawn sale, but nothing else. Point #3 IS valid for me. IOW, I know myself.
