One question I have always had about colour print processing, is if the
colour processor has direct control over the colour contents of the print,
then why bother using a colour saturated print film as the printer will
reduce the colours to their own standard saturation levels during the
printing process.
I have always wondered about using a warming filter with print films, don't
the processors compensate for this and produce an average print.
On the other hand is it not possible for the processor to bump up the colour
saturation so as to simulate a warming filter.

A print film you should try is Fuji Reala(100asa). It has very fine
grain - seems finer under a loupe than Agfa Ultra (50asa) - and
superb colour saturation and rendition. I am not too sure about how
much latitude it has but it has enough for me.
It is the best all-round print film I have used.
