I have refrained from posting about Grace till I am reasonably sure its good. I was impressed with my first prints. My subsequent prints are very much up to standard as well. Frankly, its every bit as good as Fotohub. I have been with fotohub all these time and I can tell you, in all honesty, you won't be able to differentiate the photo quality.
My grouse with fotohub, recently however, is that, their standard is not too consistent. They have a total of 6 staff and depending on who you get the pic quality will vary too. My peranakan food and wakeboarding pics were terribly exposed and color corrected. Someone did it in a jiffy.
Also, they are quite expensive. I use to reason with my friends that what you pay is what you get and its worth every cent of it when you compare it with the neighbourhood chains. However, Grace hasn't dissapoint to date and I'm fairly confident the standard will be more consistent than fotohub. At least I'm sure they do not have 6 staff manning the machines.
Lastly, Grace is able to do 2mm borders for 4R pics. Thats exactly what I want. I have talked to Fotohub abt it. Basically, its a setting in the machine which you need to change and Fotohub says they won't do it (for me).
Personally, I'm switched altho I have like hundreds of unused credits with fotohub...=(
Another place I like is Konota. Excellent for wedding pics. I mean it. These guys give the best skin tones.
These are obviously my own personal opinions. Thought I leave with that reminder.
I agree with iamasaint. All this while I thought neighbourhood photolabs cannot be trusted to give me decent prints, and was a bit reluctant to try coz even though I live in the west side, I had still had to take 2 buses. I decided to try Grace recently and glad I did. I am sure they are the best photolab I have tried in the west area. Best of all, they have friendly service and fantastic price compared to those pro-labs, and the quality of the prints are up amongst with the best of them.
