Problems with having photos processed

"Harrison Cameras". If the name is anything to go by then they should be great!

We've not had any trouble with them in the past. They have a nice little shop, and the printed the very big photgraph that we have in our living room.

Does anyone know how stores like ASDA go about actually printing the photos?

A few years ago, the envolopes that they put the photos in said that they use 'the latest digital technologies' and both digital and film prints are done on Fuji Crystal archive paper.

All the 6x4 prints which I have had from asda I have found to be very good, but when I had a few digital photos done a few weeks ago and just now had my holiday photos done at 7x5, I was slightly dissapointed with the quality. Although it could just be the film. The photos are OK, but I think I will take some of the negatives to other places and get some more prints made to do some comparisons. Starange, because some 6x4 reprints that I had done at ASDA recently look btter than the original prints that I had made 10 years ago.

I also quite fancy having an SLR now as well.

With the digital photos at 7x5 it could be the photos were too small, although you should be OK at that size with 3MP+. If you had the same problem with film, could well be their equipment having trouble doing them to that size.
