Mac Users: Exporting from iPhoto can be tricky
unless you know the trick. Do not use iPhoto to export your
files to a CD without first reading iPhoto instructions on
preparing a CD for a photo lab.
Faster Easier:
use our online
ordering system. You can upload and store your images
online (this makes a great secondary backup system and it's
free). When you order prints WE get your order and WE make
the prints.
Advanced: We have several other
digital file ordering methods
you can use. |

About your
CLIENTS |
When compiling your order,
attention to detail and accuracy counts. If you are sending
in an order compiled by your client, please double check it
before submitting to us to avoid mistakes and delays.
Clients are not photographers and their
errors and omissions become your problem. Nobody has much fun then!!
Refer them to this page for help in writing their own
orders. |
|
Incomplete Order Instructions: |
In the event that you ship an
order to us with order instructions partially missing we will
contact you by any methods we have been given.
We prefer email
so please include email info. We're good with telephones
too.Although we may
start on your order if we can, we do not consider the order to
be in our system until we have your complete order instructions.
For example, if you send us 4 rolls of B&W film for developing
and proof prints but you omit the print surface you want, we
will contact you immediately.
If you take 2 days to get back to
us with the answer, your order will be entered into the system
when when you reply, not when we received your order. If for any
reason we cannot reach you to clarify a detail, we will hold the
order until you respond. |
