Yay! I'm on a roll remembering to do my Friday blogs! Unfortunately my website is STILL down. I'm suppose to wait 36 hours for the company to contact me before I try to contact them again. : ( Boo!! I pray this is fixed soon!! In the meantime you can still view the blog from my links on here...
1 of 2 things I started to touch on a bit last year was, "Where to print??" I wouldn't feel complete if I didn't share that there is a difference in any print lab you choose. Thankfully one of my photog friends, Annie from Paint the Moon has done the research for me & I shares her findings above. You can click on it to see it larger. I know also that Walgreens & Walmart also had an auto boost in their prints. They assume Mr. & Mrs. Doe took a pic off their cell or something & so they were boosting the colors automatically for you. Most photographers do this already & then when you receive your Wal-mart/green pics they are over saturated. Annie suggested calling ahead if you have done an online order ( that's what I always do. Quick & SO easy! ). Call & ask them to turn the auto boost off. I tried this with both labs numerous times immediately after having submitted my orders & both places always said it was too late. But I have noticed with Walgreens the last few times that my pictures were no longer over saturated. Perhaps enough people followed Paint the Moons advice & so they no longer auto boost. And of course you can always support local print shops. The city of Mentor has Dodds Camera & Van's Photo. If you choose them please be sure to tell them that you were referred by moi! Have a great weekend! I hope this was another helpful blog!! {{{ HuGs! }}}
