Sent about 80 pix for prints few days ago, jes got them yesterday.. the lab is at West Mall 1st floor,near bread talk, they charge 40 cents but since i dont want the hassle of going to far to Hong Lim complex, Just tot about giving this a try lo.

Dis lady pointed at a photo, say if i want digital, i asked if it's 3:2 ratio and any processing on the image and she confirmed and said they only do Density (I suppose brightness),

But when i got back my prints, about 15 or so were badly levelled OFF!! (many more noticably levelled) I tot it's my LCD calibration but when i compared it side by side, can tell the processing was done at the lab and not on my comp as the skin tone looks totally different plus some color distortion.. some other pix turn out very well.. Can i ask them to re-print for me without any processing?

and also the print format they gave me is NOT 3:2 (almost 4:3), most of my 3:2 cropped pix were again cropped off.. so p*ssed lo.. especially those framed with captions, shyt!

80 prints and no album some more.. I don't trust any labs that aren't recommended liao.. newbies beware..
 

There's one at Clementi if you haven't noticed. (Grace Digital Labs)
 

for not giving you 3:2 and 4:3 instead when they confirmed its 3:2, u are already entitled to get a reprint of the entire 80 photos.

I've been there once and never went back. My prints actually turned yellow after a couple of months. There's a Fuji lab in Lot 1 Shopper's Mall Basement. Shop name is Candid Photo. I'm quite pleased with them ;)
