I incorporated their opinions into my overall evaluation of the services. I sent five different images to all of the services and then asked a jury ofĮditors to evaluate the prints’ image quality. To find the best option, I took a look at nine online photo ser-vices: Kodak EasyShare Gallery, Mpix, PhotoCheap, PhotoWorks, Shutterfly, Snapfish, Wal-Mart, Webshots, and the Order Prints option built into Apple’s iPhoto 5. There are a lot of online photo services out there, but there can be a huge difference in results from one online photo finisher to the next. Just upload them to an online photo-printing service and place your order. But if you have an Internet connection and a few minutes, you can turn your great shots into finished prints-without a photo printer, and without even leaving the house. Far too often, though, even our best pictures never leave the confines of our computers. One of the great things about digital photography is that you can choose to print only the photos you truly love-and then leave the other 20 shots of your cat perched precariously on the windowsill stored safely away for posterity.
