The only problem with this, is the photos eventually get buried and or just stored on a hard drive. There is nothing that makes a home feel like a home, like having \u00a0a photo printed and framed on your wall. Which brings me to where you should have your special moments printed. \u00a0I recently did a print test with the same photo at different photo labs. \u00a0I tested the Pro Labs which are only offered to professional photographers, and to consumer labs (like Costco) , \u00a0 I will get to the point, Costco was by far the worst in color, but it was the cheapest. \u00a0The best labs were all of the pro labs used. They were true to the color, \u00a0Take a look at the photo and Video below. The picture I submitted to 5 different labs. Same exact picture, look at the difference in colors. \u00a0<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2542\" src=\"http:\/\/rossettiphotography.goodgallery.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/02-2541-post\/IMG_4351.jpg\" alt=\"Printing at costco vs printing at a professional lab\" width=\"4032\" height=\"3024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rossettiphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/02-2541-post\/IMG_4351.jpg 4032w, https:\/\/rossettiphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/02-2541-post\/IMG_4351-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/rossettiphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/02-2541-post\/IMG_4351-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/rossettiphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/02-2541-post\/IMG_4351-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 4032px) 100vw, 4032px\" \/><\/div>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embd\/g9HoAUR5aq8\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The technology today is amazing. \u00a0Everyone has a smart phone, a tablet, or a computer.
