The services offer good photo-editing tools, letting you brighten or darken an<br />

underexposed or overexposed shot, for example. Many services automatically<br />

apply color correction. Nations Photo Labs offers high-level photo editing for a<br />

price premium, but we didn’t see a big difference in our test prints between<br />

premium color-corrections and standard prints.<br />

Online sharing is offered by some services, and Shutterfly is particularly strong<br />

in this capability, even letting you create online mini-websites for your photos.<br />

Snapfish and Walgreens Photo let you share online galleries that can be viewed<br />

as full-window slideshows. York Photos shared galleries are little more than<br />

batches of thumbnails, and Nations Photo Lab doesn’t get involved in online<br />

gallery sharing.<br />

MOBILE APPS<br />

The most popular camera these days is one that’s always with you: your phone.<br />

And smartphones have come a long way in terms of image quality; some<br />

capture images with more than 20 megapixels of resolution. With most photos<br />

now being taken by phones, it only makes sense for a photo printing service to<br />

offer a mobile app to get the images straight from your phone to the print<br />

service. York offers a very basic app that lets you only upload and order prints.<br />

Shutterfly adds the ability to order photo gifts, and Snapfish and Walgreens<br />

Photo’s apps can import photos from social networks, perform some editing,<br />

and share photos with friends. Nations is the only service in this group with no<br />

mobile app.<br />

DELIVERY<br />

When you want your pictures pronto,<br />

Walgreens Photo is the way to go. (Look<br />

for upcoming reviews of Walmart<br />

Photo and CVS Photo, which<br />

also let you pick up prints<br />

locally.) In our testing,<br />

Walgreens Photo didn’t provide<br />

the best enlargements in terms of<br />

image quality, but its smaller<br />

prints were perfectly acceptable.
