Re: back from Jesse's

In regular silver halide photography the colors can be altered by the brand
of film used, the brand of paper used, and the processing chemicals, which
in turn are dependent on osmeone keeping them balanced.  In digital
photography, I would suppose that colors might be dependent on the optics of
the camera's lens and the quality of the recording device.  Then in
printing, the color might be altered by the ink quality, the printer's
capabilities, the brand of paper on which it is printed.  Chris, as a
photographer, your eye can more often catch such flaws that many people
would never even notice.

It still amazes me when people accept photos with white squiggles and dots
here and there.  They've gotten used to accepting shoddy printwork.
Similarly, greens with too much blue, don't bother them.

Time is very important these days, as you mentioned, and I think that's why
a lot of people will turn to these quick, cheap printering services.
Frankly, the 4 pics I got from WalMart seemed to have really nice color,
though I do admit, I never saw the real-life subjects.
