That's what I've been doing... and with a calibrated screen here, the prints from CostCo look spot-on. Beware, though, the option they have for "fast uploads" (or some similar name) - that's an option that basically compresses the hell out of your image before even uploading it. It saves you time, if you never want to print larger than a 4x6. -Charles -- Charles Robinson - charl...@visi.com Minneapolis, MN http://charles.robinsontwins.org http://www.facebook.com/charles.robinson -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
