For instance, if you take a twilight or night shot, and have properly exposed for the lighted areas with the dark areas left dark, you will often get back a horribly exposed print in which some ____ has tried to turn the night into day - without a Noctilux. I often find that I get back over or under exposed prints, and when I look at the negs can see plenty of detail to produce a good print. So much for automation .... And before someone flames me, I know there are exceptions to this, and there are some minilab printers who really know what they're doing and do it well...:-)
