Thanks for the input
Actually I have used Bay Photo in the past with some success
I don’t remember why I didn’t stick with them
I’ll go back and try again

Most common disappointment is that the printed picture looks less Vibrant than it had on the screen.
I have tried loading the printer profiles.
Costco for example
But that’s still a hit and miss thing

I have LR, Adobe photoshop and ACDsee
I prefer the ACDsee
I find it a very user friendly software with plenty of tools and excellent organizational structure.

I am an advanced amateur that still struggles at times in having an image printed and being disappointed at the printed results regardless of what printing service I use.
Any tips on best practices/techniques?
I know the basic elements such as sufficient resolution/size/etc.
Also about being careful on screen bias.
Any and all suggestions welcome!
