Hello all. I've decided that i'd quite like to try and get some prints done from Photobox for some Christmas pressies for relatives. I've just signed up and uploaded a couple of photos, however before i take the plunge i'd like to get some advice from you knowledgeable folks.
Firstly -- saving photos. How should i do this in PS (CS2)? I have fullsize TIFFs that are obviously too large to upload, so i have re-saved them as JPG (not 'save for web'), at full resolution and '10' quality. Will this be sufficient? I'm looking at printing at a decent-ish size, maybe ~14" or so. Do i need to convert to CYMK or just leave everything as is? (Adobe RGB iirc).
Do i need to worry about calibration too much? I've looked at their calibration image and i can see all the shades fine.. or should i be printing this off and comparing or something?
Hmn.. just after a bit of advice as to how everyone uses Photobox really! There doesnt seem to be a very detailed beginners guide or anything!
Thanks for any pointers
EDIT: I'm thinking of getting prints of this, this and possibly this.
EDIT2: For images that are funky sizes, does shrink to fit work ok? It seems to be the only option that would work well with that beach pic, for example.
