How do I get my pictures to look like they do on my computer?
I have a Nikon D40 that takes beautiful photographs; they look great on the camera, and great on my computer when I download them. However, when I burn them to a CD, take it to CVS and get my photos back, they look like crap. Not nearly as clear as they look on my computer, and not even the same color. How do I get better prints? Print from the SD card or go to a different store for prints?
It's entirely possible that the lab you are using is not calibrated the same as you are.
What you want to provide them along with your CD is Your Screen shot of White so they can print to your RGB calibrations.
It's not uncommon for a lab to have a different (printer) CMYK representation of (monitor) RGB. This will give them something to go from.
Great question.
Also, NEVER provide a CD that is anything less than a 300ppi resolution (pixels per inch) for printing purposes. That is considered the minimum resolution for quality prints.
