Which company can I use and trust to edit my pictures. I heard some companies will alter them a bit to look better. I have a chart also from a company about what size i should send them in for them to cut them down.

Please let me know, I will look for the links I have. I don't really know how to edit my own pictures to print yet. I am sure my monitor is a liar when I am lookin at pics and well I just don't want to waste money to print alot of pictures yet.

    I use a Mac and recently set my gamma to 2.2 and reluctantly turned my color space in photoshop to sRGB.

    However, all of a sudden my prints from my Epson 925 match what I see on my monitor (21 inch studio display) very closely.

    If I decided to send out for prints, I'd be in the same boat as you are.

    I did stumble on a site on the web that had a person who sent the same file to several online printers and reported the findings, maybe with searching you'd find something similar.

    Once you decide on a printer, I'd e-mail them for what they are looking for from you for them to make the best prints -- color space, etc.
