Then just take pictures in JPEG format at the default settings and allow a print service to alter them for a pleasing print. Personally, I never like to have a lab change my settings ... I give them fully rendered, calibrated, color managed photographs to print. If you are not critical to that level, they'll do what they do for your film work with digital images. > ... do you have an updated > projection for the end of mainstream film? Anyone? It's already happened in this area. I know the managers at most of the local photofinishers. They tell me that prints from digital cameras is already 70-80% of their business. Two of the salesmen at the largest camera shop in the area told me that their sales of new film cameras across the board is barely 5% of what they sell now.
