Yeah...just take the card in and they will develop everything. However, a far better way is to get a photo printer and develop the good ones, or at least selectively. Unless all of your shots are keepers. However, for a minimal cost, they will put them all on a CD and you can have them print the ones you really like.
I have never had a card actually developed into paper prints...not a full card, anyways.
I went to Canada and did it...took them to a photo shop...had them put on CD, that is.
My buddy just bought a Canon printer...the inks are a bit pricey, but it's pretty frugal with it...they last a long time. The photo paper has come down a lot as well.
Another negative about home printing is monitor calibration. The colors just won't come out the same on the printer if your monitor hasn't been calibrated, and that's expensive to buy.
However, after the initial cost, it's surely worth it. A guy like rapier is undoubtedly and expert at this stuff....wonderif he will chime in? |

I just got back from a vacation with 500+ pictures. I used photoshop to do levels adjustment on the 170 that I chose for printing and cropping to 4x6in at 300dpi plus selective editing out of ugly things like my shadow on the beach as I took a picture etc...
I then put the pictures on my thumb-drive and printed them up at a local shop. no problems. |

A couple of weeks ago I had a bunch of pictures to develop. I burned them onto a CD and took them to a store next to my favorite lunch restaurant. I'd previously burned photos onto a CD and got them to burn it there, so I thought they'd be quick.
So my previous photos took 30 minutes. I had a few more this time (80 photos). So I rocked up to the store.
Me: "Igo.. chu se yo.." (i don't speak Korean, so I was just saying.. this.. pleeeeeease kinda thing)
[he puts the CD in the computer.. blah blah]
Me: "Sam ship bun?" (last time it took 30 minutes.. so I was optimistically hoping it'd take the same this time..)
Him: Anieo, anieo..
[my head: "*beep* *beep*, I hope he doesn't want me to wait until tomorrow.."]
Me: uhh.. umm.. "yuk ship bun?"
[I'm desperate, so I offer him 60 minutes.. maybe he'll go with it..]
"Anieo, anieo.."
Me "Umm.." (secretly "*beep* *beep* *beep*" I don't have another day spare..)
and he says
"Ship bun!" (10 minutes!) I was thinking minimum 30 minutes.. and it was so long he laughed at it and told me 10 minutes. My goodness that rocks.
I wish I could swear that is so efficient. Small town, south Korea, a place most english people think is 3rd world.. and I get a 10min photo service on more than seventy photos from a digital camera. *****n' A.
Me: "Wah! gamsamnida!"
10 minutes later.. about 74 photos or so in my hand . Rock on!

You can get 4*6 sized prints at E-mart for 200 won, and at Costco for 170 won. Just an fyi. |

In my little town I think I spent more like 300w a pic actually. I am still happy though. Pictures fast as quick as can be, and a damn sight cheaper than my home country which I was flying to the same day =) I was stoked. If I'd had a costco or emart around though I woulda been happier with the lower price. I still thought mine was a bargain though.

yeah but the color quality isn't so good. I got pictures done there, but the last time I went to the little shop near my house and paid 240won per and the color was much much better. |
