photo development

[jabumbo]

i just went through all my digital photos on my computer, and i picked out about 30 that i want to get developed, including one that i want to enlarge and put in a frame


any suggestions on where to get this done?


i've been told that most places will accept a cd of photos and will do them for you that way, but i dont want to take them to some crappy place and get crummy results, especially when some of the photos are black and white (including the one i want ot get enlarged)

i know oyu people take lots of pictures, so lets hear it

Well I'm not in your area so I couldn't really give advice. I take mine into a local supermarket (Sainsburys) and they put hte card in their computer, i choose what shots I want printed and what size...glossy, mat and so on and they process them.

But some stores here have those Kodak self serve processors with the touch screens. They pretty good, easy to use but expensive.

Boots.

whatever you do, do NOT use the Kodak PictureMaker. (!)

I happen to have 1st hand experience and knowledge about those piece of shit kiosks

take your cd to a photo shop, that's what I'd do. maybe more expensive than say, the suggested Boots store, but at least you will most likely get (the results) what you want

wait a second, weve reached such a point of globalization that we can recommend local photo shops from munich to pittsburgh?

[jabumbo]

well any place that exists in my area would be helpful

i know i dont want to take it to wal-mart, but what other places have photo development centers that don't suck?

i have never had to develop film ever in my life...

Pfft, I thought this was a thread about actually taking black and whites with a non-automatic camera and talking about developing and printing the pictures yourself.

But since it's a Jabumbo thread I should have guessed it'd have both lame AND lazy written all over it.

Sigh. Go to Wal-Mart. My brother's came out excellent. And they were half the price of MotoPhoto.

[jabumbo]

hey slut, how about giving me some real assistance

[QueenAdrock]

I did, I said fuckin' go to Wal-Mart. If it's like the one around here, they're half the price and the same quality.

Fucknugget.

[jabumbo]

i dont go into walmarts, ever


unless i am dragged in there by my mom going on a shopping rampage

Why, just because they are the accomplices to the Republican party and therefore are pure evil? I can understand that. Go to Target then.

I told my one friend that overstock.com was a HUGE Bush contributor (she hates him with a passion) and she was like..."Oh...well, I'm okay with funding the devil as long as I get half off digital cameras." DERP! :rolleyes:
