Bill- Thanks much. Short of purchasing my own developing and printing setup (which I can't and won't do), how do I get proper color balance?
This was Ritz Camera, I don't really have a bunch of options for developing and printing around here and I thought I'd do better w/ them than the supermarket- maybe that was a bad idea. Negatives were not cut properly, either, although that seems to be a problem everywhere and I don't think I can request uncut negatives, can I?

When you look at prints you are looking at a combination of the film, the paper, the print machine settings and the operator. You prpbably could have taken your film to another place and seen just the opposite look. >I'm shocked how different these films came out- >same day, same lighting and the RG has much, much >more color saturation and contrast- the Fuji looks >positively flat in comparison. Strange thing is, the >RG also looks like it is one stop slower than the >Fuji. Is this due to the contrast? How does Portra 400 in NC and VC formulations compare? Is Portra the "new" RG?
