How to Set Proper Exposure I was told that when making enlargements from "slides," the final print will be slightly darker - as a general rule. Is that true? When shooting portraits using slide film (e.g., Fuji Velvia) with the intention to make print enlargements, is it wise to adjust the exposure reading + or - 1/2 stop for the best possible print?

Just go to a quality photofinisher. Reliable firms can/will adjust their equipment to give you the results you want. And, today, it appears that Kodak and Fuji have (or will) discontinue the paper that had been used in the past, so that these photofinishers are moving to new digital technology, which should eliminate some of the problems of human error. I received a recommendation from a pro several years ago for The Slideprinter, Denver, CO. I have used this firm ever since. I would recommend them highly, especially since I asked for adjustments via telephone that were successfully implemented. Of course, I'm sure there are a lot of other reputable printers out there. Check out one of the major photo magazines as a starting point.
