I go for the pro lab that can offers me the best and quickest service....always have it developed first after which I scan them myself, adjust and correct and then I choose if I want to have a print from the original or from the file. And one needs another printer than the other usually. I can go to them if I want prints from my slides, so that we can judge the proofs and correct them where needed. Digital prints are send to them as PostScript, and they offer assistance with calibration for each individual printer they have.....So I always do developing and printing seperately, cause I want to judge the originals :) B&W is fun to develop myself, but I don't always have time for that (or I can't risc messing up my work) and e6 kits are not an option. (twice as expensive as any lab). PS Normal c41 prints are usuallt corrected on average (by taking the average deviation of the first and last shot) so from all options that's about the only one that has a garantueed low quality. Aside from them mistreating your film (see the other thread ;)
