Ditto, Joel. I've seen some images really screwed up by that "rule" of
setting black and white points. Often results in posterized or excessively
contrasty images with no finesse.

Whip:
I am guessing the latter; in other words, no adjustments. That would fit
my experience anyway. Send them a dark slide and it comes back dark. Don't
know what their stated policy is however.
I would also have to disagree with the premise. Setting black and white
points is not always appropriate. It really depends on the image.
