Photo Lab...

For a while now, I wanted to try the Photo Lab services at the Walgreens pharmacy.
They offer poster sized 16" x 20" enlargements for $30.

I need to find the right picture frame first so I can crop the images according to the border. They have the ability to do borderless prints, but I would crop the image to allow for a frame if that is what I decide on.

Typically, they advertise prints in an hour. They have one lab about 2 miles from my office and I talked to one of the technicians who told me when they aren't busy, they can do prints in 10-15 minutes.

If you have photos on your cellphone, you can plug it into their system for preview and download. I declined wanting to connect my phone to a device that can capture the 4,000+ images contained there, instead I'll save the images to a blank memory stick so ONLY those photos will be read by their computer.

If you are going to enlarge photos taken by your cellphone they will not be good image quality.
How have you been printing off your pics up to now if not that way?
Got something to hide Sir?detective
Jim, my cellphone camera is 12 megapixel. It's fine for what I need. The 2 photos I'd like to enlarge were taken by someone else using a conventional digital camera.
molly, I rarely make photo prints. Everything I view is on a cellphone, tablet or computer monitor.
Bn... I don't feel the need to put the security of my phone's data at risk. Allowing a direct link to my phone allows a chance to get hacked.
So, the answer to your question is YES. I have thousands of contacts, emails, texts, documents both business and personal that I don't want to share.
For most people such a photolab will give sufficient quality, if the photo is not printed too large .. But certainly not for me, Many people do not know in advance what the photo gone look like, given that most labs do not calibrate their monitors with the device that made the photo. So they use often a program that makes a balance between quality and price. Furthermore, the ink, paper and dpi used ... For an excellent photo, you have to make the necessary preparations .... just a board from a passionate photographer.
dunno
My daughter does that all the time and uses her phone.. then she makes picture albums for us grandparents. Her pictures are always good.
