>>4473367Picture is the head of an enlarger used to make color prints. You control the Magenta yellow and cyan to create a pleasing color balance on your print. Editing film has always been an integral part of the photographic process.
When a lab scans your images they usually give you a flat image that makes it easy for you to add however much contrast or whatever you want after the fact.
I scan all my negatives very flat to retain as much detail as possible then use capture one to add back the contrast I want. More often than not my edits actually look very similar to how they end up looking when printed, but with less highlight detail.
