I understand. The company I work with was originally a graphics company that did my typesetting. Very small and easy to work with. Speak my "illustrator language", unlike the larger and more expensive photography studio/lab I have also used for images. More fine art, I guess.

Perhaps I need to search around again and see if I can find some other local options that I didn't find before. The company I used that does the large files has set prices and doesn't seem all that interested in being accommodating. They are very proud of saying that their files are "real data" with no interpolation, and this seems to be their main selling point. But I still had to do a lot of processing - mainly color correction. One thing I've noticed here - don't know if it's happening everywhere - is that there is lots of turnover with the companies who do both film and digital photography. Seems there's always another one springing up or going under.
