Kodak Portra Pro 160 NC color negative

You guys are killing me!
They seem to try and boost the saturation and faces come out bright pink. I've tried it at two differnt labs, stood there arguing as they tell me the prints are supposed to look that way...

Yes - I've given up on prints unless I'm getting them custom printed at a real lab. I just have them process the film, and I scan at home (epson flatbed) for most uses. Or have the drum scanned if a client needs it.

There is a professional level fujifilm for weddings etc formerly called NPS Now just "S" (ISO 160) or "H" (ISO 400). I prefer fujifilm for the slant to the cool colours. I find kodak, especially portra, quite brown.

By the way, why is it always 160 speed?
