Can anyone (probably Larry?!) help?

I want to get my photos developed and am told various online companies do it where you email the photo and they develop it and send it to you. I just don't know where to being looking and which companies offer the best deals.

Any advice and links on where to get my pics developed online would be gratefully recieved. Many thanks. ()^ (smilie just for tastyfish I know how he loves it)

If they're on a digital camera or you can get them onto CD/ floppy disk, you can print them off yourself at Boots or Max Spielmann or many other places like that. You can also usually pick from lots of sizes and it's really cheap.
Most of the staff should be able to do it for you if you're not techy enough.

Must admit usually do my own. Paintshop Pro Photo XI or X do really do job with processing with lots of easy to use manaul and automatic functions.

The only on-line option I've used is Tesco when I had a photo page photo-book printed. The quality was very good and it was good value for money.

Have a look HERE

The other place I looked at was jessops.com which should be really good quality but I haven't used them.

I have done my last few lots of photos on the Boots online site and found the service excellent. The last couple of times I have uploaded them in the evening, and they have arrived through the door two mornings later. The quality has always been good too. And...you can order enlargements, mugs and other exciting things with your photos on them {@}

I will never use anything else now :D

there is also a website called http://www.photobox.co.uk which is good.
My friend who's a freelance photographer uses it to develop his digital pics.

If you take your digital camera's memory card to Tesco or somewhere like that will they print them all for you?

Thanks guys for all your help.

Jezi I tend to play around with them first and cut all the crappy bits out the pics I don't like (like my face LOL) so I prefer not to print them straight from the memory card for that reason.

Thanks again guys :D

HC I was being cheeky and asking a question for me in your thread :oops:

You see I need two copies of every photo on my memory card (don't ask) and am trying to find the cheapest way!

Probably, but a safer bet might be to take the camera and the USB cable

Try Bonusprint online - that is the one I use and I have got no complaints!

Since we are on the theme of photo's can someone tell me where I can buy 5 photo frame to hang on the wall, at a fairly reasonable price?

I like to fiddle with my photos too but don't print many.

I like to use movie maker and add music and make my photos into DVD's.

Made a lovely dvd for mothers day for both grandmas which cost pence.
My dvd burner even burners an etching onto the dvd itself so look authentic.

If we are talking about the same thing... I bought a lovely beech/oak wood style effect photo frame to hang on the wall that fits 5 6by4 prints. The frame was around the £7 or £8 mark from Woolworths, which I thought was very reasonable and serves the purpose well and you can hang it length ways or horizonal. ()^

If we are not talking about the same thing Chad, my apologies. :oops:

Yes! That is indeed the one Christine, thanks for posting the link. ()^

The one I got was in wood effect and it's normal price was £7.50, but this was some months ago and I'm not sure if they still sell it. The silver one is dearer because it's chrome (I think), but I noticed it's in the sale at a very good price.
