Hi,
Can anyone suggest which is the best (& affordable) photo book. I have taken some photo sample (4x6) from Walmart and CVS and I am not satisfied with the print quality.. looks different from my computer. Or is there ways be make it better using LR4? Looking for suggestion?

Thanks in advance..

First obvious question - are you viewing on a calibrated monitor? It takes a lot of the guesswork out of the printing process and end product.

Mpix.com or adoramapix.com will do the color adjustments for you. Although having a color calibrated monitor will indeed be beneficial in the long run.

I've had a handful done through adoramapix and have happy with the end result. Would recommend them!

+1 for Blurb, Very simple to do in lightroom 4 and 5, and very good quality.
