Default Photo Finishing: Online vs. In-Store

Using a photofinisher can be cheaper than printing at home, and it spares you paper jams, depleted ink cartridges, and other annoyances. With online services, you upload your photos to a Web site that makes them viewable and orderable by you--or anyone else you choose. With in-store processing, you use a terminal or kiosk to order prints stored on a memory card. If the terminals intimidate you, you can usually hand the memory card to a clerk, just as you do with film canisters.


If quality matters most, go online.

For speed and price, go to a store.

If I need something printed right away, I go to a store. But normally I order prints online every month or so. It takes over a week to get the prints, but I find the quality to be superior to the store prints.

Actually, snapfish.com now offers processing at walgreens. You upload your photos onto their website, order them, then during checkout specify which walgreens you want to go to to pick them up. They even have all of your local walgreens stores listed, searchable by zip code. Your photos are usually available within the hour, just like their in-store processing, and you get an email letting you know when they're ready. The quality is just as good as in-store processing without having to use the terminals and photo kiosk desk.

Isn't it great to have that online processing opportunity. I used to spend way too much money on photo paper and cartridges for home printing.
