Hi All, 2 questions.

How much should the colour saturation and definition of print vary from the
slide (Velvia 50)? I had some shots printed recently and it looks like they
knocked the saturation down and added some blur..

Second - are there any good online photolabs that will accept digital pics
via ftp and post prints back (specifically to Ireland). And again I would
like a place that does good quality prints, not necessarily the cheapest.

Many thanks.

I've just had some teriffic ones from Ofoto. Only 6x4, and Pixaco are
cheaper for larger prints, but they'll give you 10 free, just pay ?1
postage. I uploaded some just to check out the process, not having had
prints from digital before. They arrived in 2 days. You download a program
and then drag and drop. They're on photographic paper, similar enough to
what you see on a monitor for most purposes, and almost as good as real
photographs. I reckon my 3MP, 500k files would go to at least 10x8 before
cracking up.

Hi,

We've just started shipping across Europe incl. the Irish republic. You can
use FTP to send your work to us, and we ship first-class prints back.
Feedback has been universally good, but personal preference is a strong
factor you will consider when you pick a new lab.

Hope this is useful,
Andy
