Now I understand better from another of your posts that you are talking

everyone.
You have tried them as intended for sufficiently long to judge that they
don't help you, right? :-)

I've looked at them and not found them to be particularly useful. We
didn't have them in film days and I rarely had to have custom prints
made.

So you didn't do your own printing?

Photo labs make the necessary corrections when they make the prints. They
always did. I never "had to have custom prints made" when I was a teen-ager
with a Baby Brownie, either. That camera cost about a dollar, and had one
aperture and one shutter speed so I'm inclined to doubt its exposure was
always perfect.
