luster or glossy finishes? Thanks!
If its large format I prefer Zoomin, a online site based in India..Use the largest file size possible or shoot raw and edit..Then convert to a less lossy format than jpeg like tiff or bitmap.. Nikon offers free photo software online or get adobe photoshop(pricey) or if your on a budget Gimp(free) or PhotoImpact 13 under $100..
Zoomin will also let you do your editing on line but doesn't accept raw since raw is proprietary to your particular camera.
Webshots is also a good choice and will tell you how big you can blow up your picture and still have acceptable quality. They have a simple online photo editing programme for you to use. Webshots is better for gifts..like calendars, cups, posters at a reasonable price. But Zoomin's picture quality is better.
My favorite way is to sign up for common sites, then use up their respective free prints. I have had great luck with CVS, snapfish, and walgreens. I have ordered some from Kodak, but I can't remember if I liked them.
As for big prints, I'll be back to see the responses!
Probably the most respected online lab that is used from everyone from amateurs to professionals is Mpix.com. Great service, competitive prices and great quality. They even color correct your pictures free of charge, and have a big selection of paper. Scott Kelby and others speak highly of it.
As for luster or glossy? Depends. If you are going to frame it behind glass, glossy may reflect too much light. I like luster mostly. It is a good compromise.
