Hi:
I just received my prints from ezprints and I'm not too happy with the results.
Can anybody tell me where I can get the best results.
Is Ophoto the best place.
Thanks for your help.
 
No complaints especially on 8 x 10. Very fast service. Every bit as good as ophoto with more options.

Eddy...What are your specific complaints? I have been using ezprints for a long time now. I have had up to 11x14's done there at first using scanned prints which I could see just didn't cut it. Then Scanned negs, which was better, and now 707 files. Regardless of which way I go they always print exactly like I see on my monitor(maybe a slight bit darker). The key is to make sure your monitor is calibrated. They do no corrections as far as I know. I have maybe 100 8x10's and maybe 60-75 11x14's done there. Happy with them all. Don't expect to send them a digital file wih no sharpening done as they won't correct for that. They also have somewhere on their site a color and a b+W calibration photos. Download them and then there is a place to request a free 8x10 color and 5x7 B+W print be sent to you. Calibrate the monitor to match the files to the prints. Then what you see is what you get. I have to say that I went thru that process and using Adobe Gamma setup got me the same results or very very close to it. I take all photos using 2560x1920/fine and then process them to my liking. Then crop without resampling to the size print i want. Lastly I send them in jpg format as they will convert to jpg before printing anyway! Here are two photos scaled down somwhat. The first is the file I sent to ezprints and the second is a scan I did of the 8x10 print. I did no corrections on the scan so it is not as good as the original print but the print does match the digital file.

I have had one 6 x26 pano printed with them so far, that turned out awesome!

Have not tried other sizes, but will soon.

I like ezprints.com panorama printing options, and got great
results from sending them a very high-res pano a few months ago -
but otherwise I've been using ofoto.com for my more recent 4x6
print orders.

Hey Bill B:

I had a 20x30 done. And the problem is that is really dark. Hightlights and midtones look fine, but the shadows (dark tones) are too dark, to the point that the print is useless. I did the calibration procedure they recommend (I ordered the prints) and the print looks pretty closed to my monitor. I checked the histograms in PS, and the shadows are ok. I'm going to color correct the file in PS, maybe if I wash out the shadows I get a good result.
I'll let you know how it turns out.
Thanks everybody fo your help.
