My experience too. I took a 67 velvia slide in to Blacks to get an enlargement made. I'd tried scanning the slide on my HP flatbed without much success (unmounted, I couldn't keep it flat enough).I've been shooting a lot of slides lately and took a few to a local digital print place for some quick enlargements. I didn't expect them to measure up to a custom print but I didn't expect them to be trash either. I thought I'd get something usable from a commercial lab but they were awful. No contrast, colors were off, highlights were washed out. Just terrible.
Terrible print.
I've now taken it somewhere else to see if the results are any better.
(of course it could just be that my slide's rubbish!)
