- Can others edit my Photos
- Photos NOT OK to edit
I am having a heckova time getting excellent prints of some recent photos that I took. I sent the prints out to MPIX and they came back looking like I never white balanced or calibrated. I send them off to Costco because I've read they do a good job and it was even worse.
I have used MPIX before for printing and have not had the color issues that I have just experienced. They seem to do some sharpening at upload that I could do without, but this color thing is unacceptable. I normally select no work to be done to my photos and when I had posted them here I did get some feedback that I used to make some final adjustments, but what is on my montitor and what came back are two different worlds.
I have particapted in a thread here where print shops have been discussed and I looked at Millers, but one must derive revenue from their prints so I am disqualified and it seems that I would be as well with MPIX Pro.
I really want these photos for gifts and I am at a loss on what to do. I have just recalibrated my monitor, it was fine before I recalibrated it, so I am at the proverbial brick wall.
Can anyone make a recommendation on what options I might have, what I should do, or who or what I might try?
The photos went to MPIX as TIFF's. Costco as jpegs because it was impossible to load the files as TIFF's.
