Actually, that's not correct. The lab can make an acceptable print, but not a perfect print. I recently tried an experiment based on an article I read in a photojournalism book, in which was shown a scene shot at varying exposures. Being a skeptic, I took a roll of color neg film, made a reading off a grey card to establish a base exposure, and then over and under exposed for up to four stops in 1/2 stop increments, letting the lab make prints and corrections as they pleased. It was clear which print was made from the ideal exposure.
