corrections. My favorite is a lab that uses a dip and dunk machine, but
higher volume labs that use a cine machine can do every bit as good. What
you don't want is that corner mini-lab with the Wing-Lynch or Jobo.
If you want another hobby, knock yourselves out, but for good photos, don't
try color processing at home.

Thanks for your advice. When I tear my hair out in a few months, I will
say, I should have listened to Bill :-) Until then, lets see how far I get
with this... WHat I have been using is New Lab, which is even good enough
for Galen Rowell. Some of my slides tend to come back slight bluish though
(both Leica and OM shot ones) and couple times they sliced and mounted my
slides (I bulk scan them).
I imagine when I move to a DSLR, then mostly I will be doing B&W. I know a
JOBO is overkill for that, but what the heck.
