BEST PHOTO DEVELOPMENT SERVICE? PHOTOBOX, MAYBE

Shooting and storing photos digitally is fine. I am a fervent advocate of digital (environmental conservation, archiving and backup copies, etc.). But let's not fool friends, nothing equals the sensation of taking (grabbing, for the Agrentinos ;-P) a lot of photos on paper and looking at them, one at a time, with a family member or friend, enjoying the memory that we Bring each one of them. A photo on physical paper is a photo a bit more "real" than the same on a computer.

DIGITAL PHOTO DEVELOPMENT WITH PHOTOBOX: ONE OF THE BEST, OR MAYBE .. THE BEST

Coinciding with the fact that many readers asked me questions regarding the development of digital photos , they have asked me from PhotoBox to evaluate their digital photo printing / development service. Petition that I gladly accepted since I had been wanting to discuss this issue of photo printing for some time. Then I will explain the steps to follow and I will comment on my experience with this service.

CREATE ACCOUNT

The first step is to create an account , something that we will do by filling in a simple form and in what will take no more than 10-20 seconds. I liked how simple and fast this process is. Only the strictly necessary data is required. In addition, we do not need to go to our mail, open an email and click on any link to verify the email, something that happens in most records and that is usually a bit cumbersome the truth.

HOW TO PLACE AN ORDER IN PHOTOBOX

Once enrolled in the service, then click on "DIGITAL REVEALED" . Both prices and promotions may vary according to the time of the year, but I leave below the current price table at the time of writing this entry: To start the process, click on the button "REVEAL MY PHOTOS NOW" , which will give us the choice between two options:
  • Photos from my computer: option to upload photos from our computer, memory card, flash drive, etc.
  • Photos from my PhotoBox account: allows you to use photos previously uploaded and available in our virtual PhotoBox gallery.
The process of selecting and loading the photos is very intuitive. Once the photos are uploaded, the default system will offer us options to improve the photos in terms of brightness, contrast, etc. In my case, the photos were previously retouched and improved, so I deactivated this option, in order to save time. At this point we can confirm or change the size we want to print (ranging from 9 × 13 to 11x15mm), the print finish (gloss, matte, border, etc.) and the number of copies per photo. From this point, and as soon as we press «ORDER PHOTOS» , our order will be sent to the basket waiting for us to finalize the order (by clicking on the basket and then on «PAY» ). Before paying we will be asked for the shipping address, payment details, and finally the order will be confirmed.

ADVANTAGES OF THE PHTOBOX SERVICE

Actually I should say "Advantages and Disadvantages", the truth is that as far as I have been able to experiment with the service I have to recognize that I have not found the least inconvenience, and that I am normally a very demanding customer. Yes I found, instead, advantages that I would like to highlight:
  • Fast service: Those of PhotoBox say that orders are prepared in 24 hours and are delivered immediately. In this experiment I placed the order on Monday late at night, and on Thursday of the same week I had the delivery delivered to my home, thus counting a total of only 3 days between preparation and shipment of the order.
  • Ease of use of the service: There are many Websites where we can print our digital photos, but most try to offer and expand both its range of services that fall into the error / trap that the user ends up overwhelmed and overwhelmed with so many options. PhotoBox offers a good balance between service richness and ease of service.
  • Variety of Products: In addition to photo development, they also offer printed digital books / albums, personalized cups and calendars, posters, etc.
  • Integration with other Services: PhotoBox allows us to upload our photos from the computer, or call them from our Flickr or Picasa account , among others.

FINAL VERDICT

Would you print my photos in PhotoBox ? I think so. Definitely yes. Would you recommend it to my readers or friends? I would highly recommend it. At the moment I have tried a few printing services and so far it is winning PhotoBox . I hope you maintain this level of quality for a long time.
