For years I got all of my photos developed and printed (back in the old daze!) at my local Ritz photo store and I remember they always did a really great job PLUS I could “talk shop” with the people who worked there and learn a lot of cool stuff.

Then I got lazy and started dropping my film off at Wal-Mart every time I did my shopping. It was convenient, but the prints were always just so-so, with no real attention to detail in my opinion — but it was convenient and after a while I guess i just got used to the bland results.

Then I ran across your site and I remembered my great experiences at the old Ritz camera shop so I set up an account with RitzPix. Boy, am I glad I did!

I love the fact that I can upload my digital photos to their site and keep them there FREE for 30 days. I can share all of my photos with my family, some of whom live on the East coast, and get their input before I decide which pictures to have printed. I love that!

And one of the things that I really love (and which I couldn’t do when I took my digital photos to Wal-Mart) is the free editing tools that RitzPix has. I can change tones, brightness, and contyrast, I can crop, get rid of red eye, and choose from among several different borders.

And being somewhat of a film buff I really appreciate the fact that I get my photos on Fuji archival paper. For me that’s important. I want my photos to last a lifetime.

The prices can’t be beat! And best of all, when I place my order I can pick up my prints in about an hour at my local Ritz camera store! So I can “talk shop” again, just like the old daze!

By the way, I ordered a mouse pad with a photo of my cat on it! I LOVE it!

Thanks a MILLION for turning me on to RitzPix — again!
