    Walgreens applies an auto-correction routine to all the images submitted. The auto-correction routine works wonders for point-and-shoot images, but it

    My experience with them is that they are either unwilling or unable to turn it off. I
    Words get in the way of what I meant to say.

    For what its worth Denise, I use Mpix often via my zenfolio site----Thier color correction is much better than mine. I always use color correction when I order from them and I have never been dissapointed.


    BTW, Very nice portrait of your daughter.

    Color correction might be good on some shots, but I'm sure that since you process and edit your own photos, you won't like the outcome 9/10 times.


    If you can trust your monitor and the prints come out pretty much the same as they look on screen, stick with that and safe yourself some annoyance[]


    What I personally did was print a few testphotos from different categories (High contrast, B&W, Saturated shots) and compare them with my monitor(which has a calibrated sRGB profile). I tweaked the monitor untill it was very close to the results and now I can savely order prints and expect them to look pretty much the same as on screen.

    Well, I just ordered it and since it is the first photo I have ordered thru my own site thru them, I chose the no color correction option as a test to see how close it comes to what I see on my screen. If I
