The results of my personal photo test are in.
Just to review, I sent a set of vacation photos off to Snapfish, Photoworks, my local MotoPhoto, and got one from a
Canon photo printer
Sitting here with all the photos in front of me, it's easy to pick
Photoworks as the clear winner.
The print from photoworks shows the sky as blue, the tundra as green and the mountain as snowy white. The other prints show a bluish-gray sky and faded grass.
Photoworks now carries the prestigious if rather obscure
Moonliner Seal of approval!
If you are interested you can view one of my full sized origional
test photo online.
My test protocol was that of the average consumer, which is to say lazy. I just took the image file and sent it in. I did not photoshop it or do anything else to pre-enhance the image.
Note the "Moonliner seal of approval" is a registered trademark of, well, err, umm, no one actually.
