Gutted!!

I spent a few hours last night and even more hours this morning working on some photos of my great niece Kenya. When I finished - or sort of finished, there are more for me to go through, I decided to print out some - 30 or so, at a wee self printing machine a the grocery store.

It seems, however, that the picture printer at the grocery store has been ingesting way too many weight loss drinks, because it cropped my photos by about an inch (or more!!) on each side. And that`s SO not good.

Check this out :


The first one is the image I wanted printed, the second one is what came out of the machine :o(


How freaking horrible! The photos I printed are rubbish and I will not be able to use them, not only did the machine crop them so stupidly for some reason*, but the colors are quite off too**, Whites have a dark blue tinge and reds are brownish looking!

This weekend I am going to drop them off at Costco, where at least I know that if the photos don't print out like my digital copy says they will, at least I will be refunded my money.

*after talking this over on twitter, it has been determined that I need to either go in and manually pic a crop for the photos or go to photo shop and resize the pictures there to what size I want them to turn out. I'm going to go the resizing route.

** you cant see the color issues in the photos I have provided becuase i just used my crop tool to crop the photo the way the printing machine did, instead of dragging out the scanner to scan the actual printed copy.
