Photo Processing

[MouseWife]

I went to the site you posted {photoworks} and their prices are great.

I take both 35mm and digital with an SD card. I also make cd's of my film to manipulate the photos better after.

I have used a lot of different places. Currently, I use Sav-On's 30 minute Kodak processing. I love it because, as was stated, when someone does it by hand it is much better. Well, the ladies there are great and do a fantastic job.

The digital. Well, I don't use theirs as it is .29 a print and Wal-mart is .19.

I had used Costco {East Chula Vista branch} and they did cut the photos, they didn't always come out so great. AND other times with the 35mm prints they would f up and say they hadn't. I remember making a set of 3 prints and two came out crappy and one came out clear. They told me it was my camera??? I had to go down and argue the point, it was about 4 rolls of film. Also, an enlargment I had done looked nothing {color wise} as the original. Does anyone know if this is from being enlarged {35mm} or because of their processing? It was only an 8X10 and it totally turned me off from making more large prints.

But, yesterday we did make an 8X10 enlargment of a print of the Yosemite Falls in winter, at Wal-Mart and it came out crisp and clear.

Thanks for the links on here, this is great information. I have more prints to make up and I think I will try this as the price is the same. If the quality is better, then I need to.

AND a question, since this is a picture thread~ how do you guys print up your Buzz Lightyear photos? I copied them on to a Bitmap and then my SD card and printed them up. Not too clear. Help!!
