Why would I want somebody changing my pictures ? I just need icc profile
so I can see how it will look when printed.
I certainly don't want somebody changing the color balance or anything
else about the picture. That is the reason #1 I don't shoot
film any more.
I spend more time trying to fix digital files than any other single task
that I do during my day.
Often, digital files don't fix very easily.
I had hoped digital was going to make my job easier, but it's just added
another bunch of ways for people to screw things up.
To answer your question directly, as long as your system calibration matches
the lab's calibration fairly precisely, then no input is needed from the
lab.
If you are not calibrated precisely to the lab, then all bets are off.
