 |
|
I'd like to have a bunch of my digital photographs developed, perhaps in Korea or maybe through the postal mail.
I've read bad reviews about Qoop.com, the company that Flickr uses. That's the only place I've read about as it's where I store my photographs. I want my Nikon D80 photographs developed on archival, photo-paper, so that they'll last.
I really want to develop my shots. As an addendum: I think too many of our photographs aren't being developed, since people usually just send them through email. If a hard drive or compact disc dies, then they're all gone. |

It's pretty unlikely that a correctly handled CD would fail. Possible of course.
You can go to any of those 'Kodak' style shops which still exist in almost every neighborhood. They will print from your memory card on any quality of paper you want to any size you want.
Or you could buy a photo quality printer. They are surprisingly cheap and give good results if you buy the expensive paper, but if you want any kind of professional quality the local developer might be best bet. |

Those Kodak (and other brand name) photo shops do decent work and are VERY CHEAP.
My wife just got all our holiday pics done on hard copy and it only cost about 10k won for 40 prints including a couple 8x10s. |
