Sending Photos

Gaunt: I think glossy looks better, but there's always the chance of the signature smearing. It has never happened to me, so I wouldn't worry about it.

EastendersFan: I am not familiar with any places that develop photo's in the U.K. Sorry Hopefully someone else can help you with that.

Is Walmart the photo place at Asda in the UK?

Yeah it is, ASDA is part of the Walmart family.

Thanks for that

Do you know what you have to do to print 6x4 there? Like do you print your photos off the computer, then take a picture with your camera then hand your memory card in or something?

I went to get some photos printed and I took my memory card from my camera. I think you could take them in on any backing storage device, or you could order them online. I think ASDA are quite picky with copyright though. They wouldn't print a school picture of my dad onto his birthday cake because it was taken by a professional photographer that the school had hired.

If you are taking pictures from the internet then put them onto a disc or a USB Flashdrive, they should be able to print them for you.

Thanks so much cb1892 you have really helped!

So if i took some photos of celebs on a disc it shouldnt be a problem?
Do you believe taking the photos into Asda to be printed is a better option than uploaded them online and having them printed and delivered?

Thanks again

It should be fine with a disc.
Personally, I'd choose to do it online. Depending on how many you'd like to get printed, you could have to wait to get them printed in store.

If I was going to print them online I'd choose a different service, its £0.18 to get a 6x4 at ASDA, you can get them cheaper on other websites plus you get a certain amount free when you sign up.

Would it be acceptable to take a "screenshot" from a scene in a movie/tv show and print that out and send it to them, or is that unacceptable?

The reason I ask is that some autographs that I want, the actors don't have any good photos online, and in some cases none at all!

Also I thought it would be cool to have my favourite actor sign a photo of him/her in my favourite scene!

I have done that and it works great-especially since you get a photo of the movie you love them in.

I am in the US and I print mostly 5X7s because they aren't the smallest (4X6, which I do use if I worry about the celebrity not signing because they cost MUCH less) but they aren't big enough to have to pay extra and use the large envelope price to mail them.

You should put the photos you want on a CD and take it in. Most places have copyright policies but how strict they hold you to them depends on the one you use.

Hope this helped. {thumb2}

I don't know, but I think it's cheaper, because you don't have to pay shipping costs.

I think Kodak give you more free than Snapfish but there really isn't much in it. Either one should be fine but if you're going to print online make sure you're pictures are high quality so that they print out well.
