All color printing machines have a certain amount of color balance
correction built in.  It is NOT the development time which is adjusted,
but the exposure and color compensation during the printing which is
changed.  Slides should not be affected (for one thing, they can't
tell what they look like until they have finished the development,
at which point it is too late).  I have had my pictures wrecked by
some cheap photofinishers (e.g. Fotomat) because the chemicals were
near exhaustion, though.
