Re: [APML] Walmart prints color problem - long winded

When I go to Walmart for my aurora pictures , I always ask that they use the " old " optical machine ( the one that use the negatives ) because the " digital " machine ( that use my negatives too ) give me odd pictures that look grainy , the gradient between the colors of aurora and the dark of the sky show " pixels " ... it's not soft !

 

Thanks for the tips Jerry , I'll have to try !

 

WOW , a 36" X 48" , I'll have to try that too ;)

I've had posters (astrophotos) made on the Walmart site up to 36" x 48", and
they turned out great.
