Had walmart print some photos....disapointed.

Looking at that framed print ... the whites are white.
The yellow looks well exposed.

Hard to really say much about the print without seeing it under better lighting and comparing it with the matching image file.

Here is the original and the print.

Yeah, I would be mad too if they put some random guy and some shelves in my picture of a flower.

On a side note, did you care that the flower was not in focus when you decided to have this one printed?

Do we really expect lab quality from "Wal-Mart"?

It doesn't look a billion miles away from the original file, but it's difficult to judge when you are comparing it to a photo of a frame photo especially when you use flash. Horses for courses. You should start with smaller prints and see how their printer handles it, as others have said they can vary from printer to printer, even on the same one, depending on the ink levels of a printer especially at price sensitive outlets like Walmart. Also if you are gonna print big I would always be looking at 100% and have started with a well processed RAW image. After all, you can only take out what you put in. Without meaning to overly negative, I would have looked at that second shot at 30% and deleted it. The focal point is very soft. I cretainly wouldn't have pressed the Print button on my Canon pro 9000 on that one.

You'd be surprised how h=good some chains do things, as with Cameras (except if you're Nikon's PR guy!) it's about the person running the machine as much as it is about the machine itself. Of course with price sensitive chains like Walmart chances are the guy doimg it is on just above minimum wage so you are more likely to get lower quality, but it's not always certain

They're doing good to load the files and press the green go button at Wal-Mart.

IMO, this is precisely why the quality at [my local] Wal-mart is as good as it is; the "technician" does nothing more than take the finished prints from the machine's output tray and put them in the order envelope (and more than once, that's been mucked up). They let the very expensive, complex machine, which is the result of millions of dollars of R&D do it's job the way it was designed to. As a result, the end product is pretty decent.

Yes sir you're 100% right, but a real lab will adjust my color and brightness and such if my monitor isn't calibrated, color space is trashed, etc or the pics need obvious tweaking, using the same or lessor machine than Wal-Marts (or CVS or Walgreens). That was my point about the wally-world.
