I disagree. Digital photo processing and printing allows far more flexibility with excellent results. You do need to use a calibrated workflow and a high quality printer using suitable photo processing software e.g. Lightroom / Photoshop.

+1. Plus you get repeatability. If you need to do dodging and burning in a print darkroom, and you need to make many prints, that is a laborious process. Standing up. With Lightroom/Photoshop and a GOOD printer, all you need to do is change the Copies setting.

I think by now there is no more Dektol stain in my fingernails.

There is the key point - high quality printer.

You get what you pay for.

That is a given.

Huh - professional photo labs are automated. Comparing a home developer with a high quality printer is comparing oranges and bananas.

No point in discussing anymore.

Professional photo labs, aka photofinishers (at least in the USA) produce "averaged" prints. No real, honest color correction. No dodging and burning. The real "custom" labs offer these services, at a price.
