Yes and no.
  • Quality for color negative processing is generally pretty good, though more consistent results are generally had if the shop caters to working pros

  • Quality for b&w film processing is variable since it is often offered as a "done by hand" service

  • Scan quality is most often poor despite claims of high pixel counts. Some labs do a better job than others others.

  • Yes, lab "machine" prints and enlargements are usually made from a digital scan rather than the old-time optical process. The scanner and printer are usually tuned to work together.

  • Quality of machine prints from the digital scan may be equal to or better than a traditional optical print or they may be worse. If you want optical prints, they are still available through some labs, but at a high price. The same is true for B&W prints.

As you might imagine, do-it-yourself is a strong option if high quality is the goal.
