Digital pic printing... what format?

Mitch F · 06-05-2008, 10:48 AM

I've been looking to get some of my pictures blown up and framed, and was wondering, do i have to take the pics in on my card or can i put them on a USB flash drive to have them printed?

any format you want. the print shop should be able to accomodate.

I've been using Costco.com: Offering thousands of items you won?t find in your local Costco. just upload them, pick the size you want and pick up an hour later. I've had great results with them and came recommended to me from a professional photog. Best part... it's CHEAP.

I've had a bunch of 8x10 and several 11x14s done at Costco. I just brought in a thumb drive, selected what I wanted printed, and submitted the order. The prints all look great, and the price was dirt-cheap.

Note that if you have done all of the color balancing and any other post-processing, tell them to turn OFF auto-color balance, or the prints may not come out the way you set them up.

I also use Costco - it's pretty hard to beat the prices and the quality is very good. I just got a new memory card there and got a coupon for 50 free prints.

well, it turned out great, very satisfied.
