You have my sympathies. It's certainly not easy, just more doable than a color enlarger. I often kill work and go back to the original, but I haven't had to do much on deadline and I can get pretty frustrated just enjoying my "hobby". I can't image taking my 500 vacation pictures, digital or otherwise, and doing anything other than shipping them off to a lab.

I saw others' complaints about the time required to do the post processing digitally instead of handing it off to a lab to do wet, and even with that in mind I'm too slow. And whether it's lack of skill, lack of tools, or both (it doesn't help that the machine on which I can display my editing software (GIMP) I only have 8-bit colour), I'm not being as effective at tweaking things as I'd like. Grrrr. This is, of course, subject to change after study and practice, but that's not helping with the deadline I'm bumping into right now. *sigh* -- Glenn
