Do you order your prints online or do you print them yourself? I've been told that the photos are not high quality enough when actually printed out on a printer. Is this true? What sites do you order your prints from? There is nowhere in my small town to get high quality photos prints, just the average Rite-aid, Alberston's, etc and I've noticed the prints I've gotten at those place before I started getting into photography are just terrible. They always crop the picture on the sides and the effects I add to the pictures come out looking awful.
So I figure online prints are the way to go but I am not sure what site to use. I certainly hope the photos don't come to me cropped and messed up like they do from Rite-aid. Does the size of the file matter? Is it the bigger the better file size for high quality prints? I am so new to photography, I am trying to learn all of this before I really get into it more. I want to put together a photography portfolio so of course I want the best prints I can get.
And another question, if I send my pictures off to an online printing site that have added effects, like Orton effect, B&W, Sepia, Cross process, etc will that effect the quality of the photo?
Thank you very much for taking the time to read this, I appreciate any suggestions, tips, opinions, any help would be appreciated!
