    Sometimes you have to specify with your printing company that you do not want them to "auto-correct" your images. Many companies make the bill off of folks printing straight from their Point and shoots. So they bump the contrast and bump the saturation to make people happier. I have to specifically tell the place I go to when I need fast cheap prints to turn off the auto correction.


    Of course. I have a calibrated monitor. I don

    What does "accentuate the shadows" mean? Do you mean that shadows appear brighter than you expect? Or darker? Something else?


    The most typical problem is that prints are too dark, and it

    I have the same problem with cosco prints. I calibrated one of my monitors to agree with a specific costco nearby, and that helped.

    In that case, try getting some bright photo paper (or any "bright" paper even) and hold it up next to your monitor. If the white on your monitor is a lot whiter than the white on your paper, that may be part of the reason why the prints are too dark. If you reduce brightness on the monitor, it may be easier to get the prints to match.
