And, yes, I am spolied rotten. I have a good relationship with an excellent professional lab. All I have to do is to let them know what I want. There are times when that makes the difference between being able to get in some shooting and getting some prints or having nothing to show. It takes quite a strain off me. Clearly I have a lot to learn about digital.
