Christmas Eve/Christmas Day might be the WORST possible time to find people online, though. An amazing number of our members actually have families and lives... Anything I can help with? I currently have neither, LOL.

I am currently at work watching the network do nothing. So, ostensibly, I'm available too.

I was afraid it had to much contrast. I liked it, but you never know what other people will think. ;o) I wish I could of printed them on a 2400 instead of my 2200. I'm glad you liked it.

Ok then. I wanna do some senior pics at my daughters high school for some kids that can't afford them professionally. I want to know how to resize them accordingly so they don't get ruined.
I directed this Prof only because I knew he had done senior pics before and the answer was prolly a simple one.

I feel the same way about my username entry. The shot is so much sharper then it looks downsized for the web. Some places just look better on the winter solstice! ;o)

I'm not sure who I'll get to do that. Probably the local store or something

I simply send the files off to Walmart or Shutterfly, and everything generally looks great. (Shutterfly does tend to oversaturate, watch for that)

I'd print some samples at 4x6 5x7 and 8x10 to see if you like it first, but stores like walmart usually do a good job sampling the images in my experience.

I hate walgreens, which I've used through Snapfish, they never have matte paper so everything is glossies. Can't stand glossy.

12/24/2005 05:39:52 PM · #16

So does that mean I don't have to resize them at all? Just send the files and specify what I need?

12/24/2005 05:41:23 PM · #17

My Walgreens only has glossy to. You have to mail order the matte finish. We have another drug store that does matte unless you tell them you want glossy

I resized my christmas card clients thru walmart just so I could have a decent download time but you don't have to at all.

I always just send off the full size images yes, they'll resample to whatever dpi that their printer can do, so sending the full resolution image would be best.

Like I said, do a couple of test and see how you like them.

Come to think of it, I might try running a test like that, resampling to 8x10@300dpi and then sending an un-resampled image and see how it goes.

I like the ability to get 1-hours back from Walmart, so I use them often. I donn't want to have to go into a store first and upload them, I like uploading them and then going there when I knew I was going out anyways, or just sending them off and picking them up the next day with the groceries.

How are earth did you come up with "wonderbread for a name LOL.
I love Wonder bread. I won't buy anything but.

Okay I guess I won't resize them then.

Nothing wrong with wierd. Most people refer to me as wierd. I think the camera draped around my neck all the time intimidates them.
