I just want you general overall opinion of this lab.

Right now I print at costco, im Calibrated and Profiled and do all my own color corrections.

If im doing something like a wedding, or event photography (portraits) in specific. Would you just upload and have them do all the auto corrections and just save youself the time.

Thier prices are a LOT more than costco, if im just printing on e-surface paper, will i really see the difference?

Im just wondering if its worth the time to correct myself and ask them not to touch the image. Is that what im paying these guys to do?

+ can i direct ship to my customer, or does the price/invoice come with the shipment?

This may not help you - But my 8x12 metallic photo from Mpix came in today and it is beautiful!

Ive been really curious to try their metallic paper too. I kinda want to try it for portraits and see how it turns out.

I've used them a coupe of times & am very happy with the results.

[StealthLude]

did you do your own corrections or allowed the lab to do it for you?

[Crashoran]

I did my own, and then after that allowed them to do it.

im calibrated so i was wondering if i should do it, proof it using profiles, then tell them NOT to do anything to it.

My main thing was saving time, and if im going to spend that much time correcting and proofing prints, why not just save a buck and print at costco (for customers) like portaits.

I guess what im asking, do they do a good enought job to send em a CD full of tiff files of pictures, and allow them to do eveything. Stright off the camera. Im starting to shoot a lot, but im doing all my own processing. Takes a lot of time.
