Whether you bill the time or the lab costs separately, or roll it in to the expected price you quote, doesn't really matter (on the average and in the long run). Any given amount of "print improvement effort" is easier and hence cheaper in Photoshop than it is in a real darkroom. Some people are strictly interested in *taking* the picture, others are very interesting in the techniques to make the best-looking prints (or screen images, or whatever is needed) instead. -- David Dyer-Bennet, <mailto:dd-b@xxxxxxxx>, <http://www.dd-b.net/dd-b/> RKBA: <http://noguns-nomoney.com/> <http://www.dd-b.net/carry/> Pics: <http://dd-b.lighthunters.net/> <http://www.dd-b.net/dd-b/SnapshotAlbum/> Dragaera/Steven Brust: <http://dragaera.info/>
