Hi all
just in case anyone is interested, Camera House have their August special out where one can have 6"x4" prints done for 29c each, and also 6"x8" prints done for 68c each.

If you use their online facility, the PROMO code to use is GOODTIMES

I am not affiliated with Camera House, just thought it was a pretty good deal :)

Hi Dave,

Have you used their facilities before? If so would you recommend? Especially their online service.

Thanks,

Mark

Hi Hudo
yes, I've used their online services recently and they are very good. I was very happy with the photos that I had printed. A few of the colours weren't spot on - but I don't have my monitor properly calibrated.
If you email their lab, they can send you out a profiling card, and you can also download the same image from their site....then try to get them as close as possible (which should theoretically give you the right colourings etc...).

I picked my photos up the next day, however they can post them out to you as well. The online program is very easy to use and depending on which PROMO code is used, it shows you the relevant prices for each size print.

I'd be happy to recommend them :)

Their web address (for the Melb city store) is:

Camera House here where i live does all my printing, i have not had any problems with them or with my prints, ok i could get them a bit cheaper elsewhere but then there is freight and i can send via there proggy if i could get it to work properly, or i take it in and pick up later that day.

Guys,

Have problem and I know you can help. I used their online service with fantastic results, so many thanks for the recommendation. Heres the issue which I've had before and just never got around to understanding it.

My images are slightly too big for the printed images. So I loose the border depending how you crop using thier program. Now I use Adode Photo Elements which is the cut down version of PS. How do you re-size so you can print correctly I guess is the bottom line question getting to the point?

Thanks,

Mark
