Wanna do all of mine for me? See how fun that is? I always liked darkroom for the control you couldnt get in a lab like custom cropping, but with RAw you have to do a lot of work just to open, and do basics like levels and sharpness that you got done for you at a lab with basic film processing with none of your labor or time. Shooting jpeg does not solve the problem either because the exposure latitude is nearly zero for really good results and that requires even more time to get just right than the RAW processing does.. jco

Agreed. It's even more fun in some ways. No chemical odors wafting from the computer.
