> Back in the 1-Hour-Photo Minilab days, the tech was doing more or the less the same thing as well, or just hitting 'auto' and the Noritsu or Frontier was making adjustments to each frame before printing it.

This takes me back. I worked in a one-hour photo place way back in the day, operating a Noritsu. We had a film school in town and students would often come in with their C-41 or their Tri-X and complain about the colors or saturation of their prints. Which was totally fair, because tapping the right CMYK buttons on the machine was more art than science. Ah, memories.

Tri-X is traditional gelatin silver black and white.

Yeah—and do you know what happens when you print it on color paper? You get inconsistent colors between the highlights and shadows. So, people would complain about it.
