It just looks so practiced. Sleeky tends to wait cheap and I’ll only order it if some ane specifically asks for it. Plus yous get a lot more glare with glossy paper.

“sleeky” is simply that too shiny for me – my wife prefers glossy though
I guess there is no right/wrong answer.

It seems that when I see proofs from some photographers, the photo paper almost has a grain or texture to information technology. Am I imagining information technology or is there a treatment or another paper out there to ask for?
I like the paper with that texture you lot are talking about.
I recently had prints done at Adorama and MPix (same prints to compare). I had matte washed and 2 8x10s in Lustre at Adorama and whatever MPix’s Eastward-surface is. They were all stated every bit Kodak Endura papers.
I liked the paper from MPix because it had this texture. The Lustre 8×10’s from Adorama was smooth. Though, I liked the colors from Adorama much better. They matched my monitor perfectly as opposed to beingness oversaturated from MPix. I accept no idea if that was the difference in newspaper, a difference in the color correction (had color correction marked at both places) or what.
Like I said, I actually liked the texture on the MPix prints. But wasn’t as happy with the actual prints as I was with Adorama.
My Snapfish prints seem to be lost somewhere out in the Us Postal Service world

I am wondering if the oversaturation thing with the MPix vs. the perfectly colored Adorama has to do with the glossy (MPix) vs. matte (Adorama). I’m going to take to take them print the same 3 photos, but reverse the sleeky/matte papers at each place.

To add to my post in a higher place, my Snapfish prints arrived today. Absolutely terrible. They were printed on newspaper similar to MPix’due south newspaper, which I like. But asside from the same over saturation that MPix was, some of them look like they were from a forum avatar size photo blown up to a 4×6 print. Terrible.I am wondering if the oversaturation affair with the MPix vs. the perfectly colored Adorama has to do with the glossy (MPix) vs. matte (Adorama). I’m going to have to accept them print the same three photos, but reverse the glossy/matte papers at each identify.
Just out of curiosity, did they “color right”?
I know Mpix has the option of them not color correcting.
I’ve used snapfish once. And aye they do suck!
IMHO I retrieve glossy looks tacky.

I have to annotation too that I do not have a calibrator for my monitor. I accept gone through the soft calibrations that you lot tin find on the web. My photos to me always look dandy on my monitor as do everything I see people post here (in a web browser, thumbnail viewer, Photoshop, or any other prototype software I look at). I never play with saturation and colors with my photos as they look perfectly fine to me. I only do balmy levels and mild curve adjustment, then everything else is cropping, resizing, and sharpening.
I do know what my photos can await similar on a poor looking monitor. Both my work laptop and my equipment control PC at work show photos horrible, whether they are mine or photos I see posted here on the forum. My laptop is too nighttime on the CRT on my desk, and way too low-cal an noncontrasty with the LCD. The control PC I utilize on the equipment I run as well is very dark much similar my CRT at my desk-bound. I can’t seem to become my work computers looking skillful perhaps considering of the crappy graphics chips in them.
