| Blacks went under, where to go for developing?
I haven't had any photos developed in quiet some time. I'm planning on getting a bunch of files developed but discovered blacks went under last year. Curious where a good place to go in Vancouver with similar pricing and quality would be. For those who don't know they would clean each photo up, remove red eye etc.

Try London Drugs, their Photo Lab work is pretty decent and they do fix/touch up the pictures before printing.

LD for me too. Pricier than other grocery stores (Superstore, Costco) but they do a much better job with it imo. Worth the extra 10-15 cents/4x6

These prints are for full blown photography.

I was looking at the Black Friday deals, and here's what I came up with.
You can use HP's new instant ink program, where you pay a certain fee a month to print a certain number of pages... which could be photos.
Right, now:
-HP Instant Ink is free for first 3 months, their $11/month plan allows for 100 pages.
-I got a qualifying printer for 30 bux
-A pack of 100 4x6 photo paper is anywhere from $10-14 bux shipped on Amazon.
And so, you can do 4x6 in the comfort of your own home for the same price that Costco charges. Though, I'm sure the ink and paper aren't as great quality.
If you really wanted to kick it up a notch... you could do larger photo sizes using the same technique.

As a former HP retail rep, the quality coming out of a retail inkjet print doesn't compare to what you can get at a professional developer. They're great for instant prints, but other than that it's too much hassle compared to simply providing LD or whoever with a drive of pictures to develop. On top of that, you'll have to be careful about screen calibration since you'd be lacking the generic "touch-up" that professional developers do before making prints (LD does this to essentially make sure you actually want a wildly out of wack print intentionally).

I'd be interested to know more about the 'generic' touchup that professional developers do before making prints.
