Can you tell us more about what makes one photo lab better than another?
>From experience I know that the operator of the printing machine to some
extent controls the color balance of the print,to what extent does the
proper mix? quality and freshness of the developing chemicals have on the
quality of the final print?
Does the freshness of the developer chemical matter much?
Thanks
Titoy ( trying to know better one good quick photo lab from another.)_
