[ILUG] OT: Digital Photo Prints

[Donncha O Caoimh]

I've had a few experiences with this:
1. Spectra Photo in Patrick's St. Cork were excellent. Handed my CD in, 
came back a few days later. There ya go.
2. Online is another matter and I blogged about it a few times:

http://blogs.linux.ie/xeer/archives/p/89491086/more/1/c/1/Photography-Online-Photo-Printing-Service-in-Ireland

After quite a bit of hassle with http://www.mypixmania.com I managed to 
get *one* of my orders off them. They've offered me 20 prints for free 
in compensation but I don't know that I'll recommend them. I really like 
their site though.

Spectra online were fine, but make sure you colour correct your photos 
first. When I handed photos into the shop they came back looking colour 
corrected but online they came back unaltered. *shrug*
Spectra's "buy more space" idea is crap though, I mean, you can't delete 
the photos you've uploaded!

Must post a bit more about that lot later.

Donncha.
