"Kudo" to KT Color Centre

[eric69]

I went to KT Color Centre recently to print 100 digital photos of my recent Europe vacation photos. I informed the attentent that I needed to do colour/brightness/contract/sharpness corrections. However I missed out informing her that I also need to fix the photos in size (as most were not exactly cnopped to 3:2 format). When I went to collect my photos, almost all the photos were unacceptable to me, as the white borders/texts were partially trimed off. The attentant then told me that she thought my photos were supposed to fit exactly into 3:2 format. And to my surprise, she agreed to re-print all my 100 photos at no addition charges! And the re-prints were done within 15 mins, and no compromising on the quality either. To top it off, she served me constantly with a smile.

At 30 cents (I understood it's only for Clupsnap members) per 4R photo, and such amazing quality printout, I think KT Color Centre has a winner in his products. I went home feeling very happy. They definitely make my day.

Thanks and Cheers.

Ah yes, KT...... godsend godsend.....

 

[AhV]

Me too ! I do my prints there ever since I knew about them. But still... IMHO, although they are nice, we should do them and ourselves a favour by giving clear instructions in future. This will save all our/ their time and effort ;p

Hi hi, thanks for sharing the tip. I'm thinking of going there to develop pictures of my Europe vacation too but just wondering how do they verify that you are a Clubsnap member. Will they ask for a Clubsnap t-shirt ( I don't own one) or whether you can quote any moderator or any stickies?

Nope, you don't need a clubsnap T-shirt for identification. Just give them your nickname in Clubsnap (i.e. eric69) for recording purposes only. Unfortunately as I was too happy to reveice my prints, I actually forgotten their names. But anyway, I'll be going back to them for more printing.

Oh, I think they offer me a tip. One of the gal told me that if I want them to do color correction, then I should not put a white border on my digital photo. This is because when the computer apply a color correction ie red filter, the white border will not remain white i.e red tint. So in this case, for color correction, I should not include a white border in my photo. Rather I should request them to print white borders on my photos during the printing process.

Glad to know that there are so many good press on KT Color Centre.

Good service.... Cheap Price..... Frenly Staff....what can u ask for? :bigeyes:

 

[Nightstar]

Thanks eric69! I'm also just curious, is there any special reason for printing white borders? I've always wondered why. Sorry if the question sounds silly, a noob :embrass:

just got home from collecting some prints from them (1st time there). :thumbsup: will definitely go again. after letting them do color correction, the colors are still what i want.

 

[frcfyp]

some of those photos from my batch of 130 had a strong yellow cast. the yellow cast happened to indoor photos taken without flash. i wonder why excessive correction was necessary when the photos were correctly exposed in the first place?

my gf asked me to print somewhere else in the future, but i trust the judgement of so many clubsnap members, and thus will give it one more try.

Lol, the same thing happened to me before. Upz for KT!

actually on photoshopCS, go to Image -> adjustments -> photo filter choose the blue 80 or 82 to correct the warm yellow lights

Haha.. I don't think it sound silly, in fact, I asked myself the same question too! I don't know about the majority of clubsnappers, but I started out with borderless. Then I proceed to white border, becos borderless seem ugly. Lately I have been thinking of changing back to borderless. It just taste, maybe. Hehe..
