this thread has been helpful, and i feel so dumb for not even seeing the board index link until now!

I was wondering about getting prints. It seems like Walgreens, CVS, York Photo all charge at least two bucks and up. I just saw this Adorama place as I was reading this thread, so they seem like a good bet. I wondered about sending pictures, because when I first started collecting I didn't send any pictures and just asked for them. I did have a bit of success, so the second time around I thought of doing the same thing. But since the people I'm writing to now are more popular, I think sending pics would be best.

Does anyone know of a uk based company that is like adorama and doesn't worry about copyright?
As I said above, "I use a very large UK supermarket's online and collect in store service, and apart from a very mild verbal warning once have never had any problems with them."

I'm not going to name them specifically, but it is the obvious one. They all have to have stern copyright notices on their sites or in their stores to be seen to comply with copyright law.

Adaroma should send to the UK I'd imagine. I've got UK friends who use it. {up}

Your best bet is to find a instant photo print machine .

In the uk boots 39p
Co-op - 30p

Yet to look anywhere else

Hope this helps [uk]
I haven't used either of those, but if that's their prices for a 5x7 or a 6x8 then almost anywhere else would be cheaper.

Hi Ryan ,

Would 800*524 print okay at 8*10

Thanks in advance :D

If i was to send some files to a company like jessops to print out some photos would they print out celeb pics for me? Are there copyright issues?
Any feedback appreciated.

I used to find that even quite big images would be flagged up by online supermarket photo printing sites as being low quality, if you have access to Photoshop run them through that first and save it as a high quality image, this seems to resolve whatever issues the photo sites have with images taken from the web.

There are loads of high-quality images of those three actresses on Google images, just filter by 'large'.
