Printing digital Pics

I was going thru my pictures from the past few seasons and was thinking of getting some printed up. Any recommendations in terms of cost/quality? Snapfish maybe?

I just had a 110kb file printed in B&W through the Walmart on-line service... 8x10 and 5x7. I was very surprised how good they looked. Took less than a week to get them to my door... I think two 8x10 and six 5x7 were around $12.

Shutterfly is nice and offer tons of coupon codes.
I still believe that digital pics will all eventually be lost one day, so having paper photos is still important.
We are so snap happy these days because back when you had to pay for each photo you used more discretion.
Its impossible to print every pic you take, so now i simply make a book on shutterfly that summarizes that year of my life... And its all in one neat book. Almost like a highlight reel. You pick the best photos. The tougher thing is sitting down to document the past when you arent even caught up on today's to- dos .

The local pharmacies are cheap and quality isn't bad but most can't do the wider format of digital cameras.

Costco has a reputation for excellent stuff at a good price.

Check out your local photo shops. They may be cheaper than you think and can give advice. Online stuff can be good but it's fire and forget.

I always use shutterfly and have never had any problems. I use the cvs near my house when I want the photos right away.

Shutterfly or snapfish are good for larger prints and/or picture books. The hardcover books are a nice way to document a year on the water or family events etc. about 4 years ago I found a 50% off cupon for snapfish, i culled out the very best of the photos I had taken and printed all to 8x10" still spent a ton of money but it was and continues to be a great investment.

the benefit of a digital picture is that you can manipulate the pixels
to your discretion before you send it to a printer. For example if the sun
was real bright and the Gama rays were too intense you can adjust them.
you can also increase saturation to make it more vivid and "pop".

If you have some digital skills, a Photoshop/LR tool ( https://photographylife.com/lightroo...oshop-elements ) and a good photo printer is an option too
