Well, Mark, it's annoying to me. I'm glad you find that it's OK for you. I
guess we just have different personalities. I know how to make an action, and
all that other stuff ... it's just annoying. I don't like unloading the
dishwasher, either ... although I don't mind loading it.

Hi Bob ...
Well, you know my feelings about getting high quality scans.
When I said "tweak" (admittedly a poor word choice) I was referencing my admonishment
to this particular lab to make no corrections for exposure, which I mentioned in my
original post. The default is to make adjustments, so

Hi Boris ...
I understand your point ... as I noted to ERN, I do have access to scanners
(Coolscan 4000, Imacons) but there are times I'd want to outsource some
