Paul,
I think I will disagree with you on the above statement. I don't think were a Minority, in fact I think even a lot of the P&S people are going for the creation of there own prints. My friends wife for instance. She does print a lot of her own stuff and on occasion when she has a lot of shots like returning from a vacation she will outsource. But, now this is the kicker. She says "I like the way my pictures look without any editing at all". I was informing her of the choices of both payware and freeware of Photo Editing Software and she wasn't interested in even the free stuff. I then reminder her that I used to have my own darkroom, been in the business a long time and did Weddings and even ended up the Manager of a Small Portrait Studio. That no matter how good my shots were originally from the camera, they still needed a tweek here and there. LOL She wasn't interested at all, in fact she got huffy and an atitude "Well mine don't". We or actually my wife brought one of her vacation Albums after that incident and my friends wife started looking at the shots.
You should have seen the look on her face, That was wait, Again, priceless.... Even her eyebrows went up, without her saying anything at all. Granted, I did edit the shots in Elements 5 before bringing them to Kinkos but I didn't tell her that.... LOL
