You haven't been following this thread, have you?

I SAID that I have no doubt that SOME people can
get good results with those techniques.  If the lab gives
me good prints all that shows is that a full-time professional
who has spent years learning to tweak his curves and play
with his settings can do it.  It doesn't answer my question about
having a simple, reliable system that *I* can use without
spending tons of time climbing a long learning curve.  Or
having to fiddle with every print for hours to get it right.

I want to go into Photoshop, adjust my histogrom and
curves so it looks good on my monitor, hit the OK button
on the print dialog and have it print that way.
