Mention was made of how long it takes to scan negatives. 

That is in keeping with my belief that excellent prints take time to make. 

If you want to do a good job in the darkroom or in photoshop you need to 
take your time, you need to have good taste and you need to do what you are 
doing.

Digital is nice insofar that once you have manipulated the image the way you 
want it, you can save your work and recreate it with little effort (the 
printers do make some demands).

But excellent prints just don't happen. You have to make them just as you 
have to make a good photo in the wet darkroom. Quality is not the product of 
luck, and quality takes time. 

I got into printing my own photos because I found so many labs rushed things 
out. It's easy to print a lot of medicore photos, but who needs them.
