Printing Digital Photos



You can always tell when I'm off work, because my posts are during the day. It's a gorgeous warm day with a little breeze and I'm off to run errands. The main one being that I must get to the camera store, so that I can receive my 25 free digital prints. I bought my camera at a camera shop that offers one year of 25 free prints. Now for me, it's a must not to let that pass unused.



Where do you print your photos and what do you pay? I know Costco will print 4 X 6 for $.19 or 5 X 7 for $.69. I've never understood why the fifty cent increase is warranted. Walgreens sells 4 X 6 prints at $.29 each, which seems to be the going rate. I tried online printing, but was displeased with the upload conundrum and turn around lag. I'm on dial up, so it took some time to upload my images, even if they were in .jpg format and then have to wait one to two weeks to receive them.



By hand carrying my CF card to the camera store, I get to print my photos from the .tif format, which I firmly believe prints clearer, smoother, much improved images. I actually took the time to print one set from .jpg's and the same set of photos from .tif. The .tif definitely looked better with smoother edges and much more crisp. Anyway I'm babbling, everyone have a great day!
