Hi
I have taken what I think are some good candid shots of my grandchildren and was going to get them printed commercially. Do I convert them to Tiff format and then burn them to a disc ?
I live in Concord and work in North Sydney do any of you know agood place to get them printed ? I'm sure you guys know the answers.

Define 'commercial'. If it means at BigW/Kmart type photo labs for 19 cents per print, stick to JPEG and sRGB colourspace. Anything else will cause complications for the 15 yr old min-wager working his/her afterschool job.

I guess what I mean is somewhere a bit more professional than K mart maybe a photo lab, or is that just a waste of time. How do you guys print your photos if you elect not to do it at home.?

Onyx is right but if it's a pro lab you could always save as both formats. Just becareful to not save as tiff compressed, more drama for some. :wink:
