Photography Question

printed photos


Can someone explain why when I view a photo I take on my computer screen at "actual pixels" mode, it looks very clear. But when I have the photos printed at a photo store, they are not as sharp.

Thanks

  Are you doing anything to the photo before you take it in for printing? I'm thinking that you might be saving it as a JPG (appling comprssion) or resizing it? What is the image file format on your monitor and as you take it to the lab? If you can give us more detail we might be able to help you figure it out.

  Thanks Vince.

I am saving them directly from my compact flash to hard drive as .jpeg. I even bring in the media card and have the photo shop print from the card.
