Having got a new camera (Canon A80) a few weeks ago I eventually had enough images to print. Having seen the Boots 50 for £5 it seemed like a good option. I burned the images to CD which they had no problem with and gave me my reciept for collection the next day.
The Problem: On checking the results the next evening I found my pictures had all been cropped 1/2 inch top and bottom. Although I had edited some images, I kept the aspect ratio locked. The prints were (and are) 6x4 as stated.
The print quality, although good, does lack sharpness on some macro flower shots that have strong contrast and high colour saturation. Some of the pictures came out darker than they should in the background but the subject was still well lit.
Has anyone else had this problem with priters? and what is the best way to avoid it?
Would getting prints 7x5 be better as the ratio is different?
