Greta Claverie Review of Precision Camera & Video
Their photo processing service does not live up to...
Their photo processing service does not live up to expectations. I put in a simple order to print 5-6 old family photos. After 3 tries they still haven't gotten right! First time, I was handed an envelop with my originals (thank God) but NO prints. Since they charge upfront, I asked them to correct the problem. Second time... I get the prints but they're not black/white as ordered. Third time, I get prints, still NOT black and white as ordered! I also want to make a note here... Before moving to Austin, I would use a small local photoshop, with much less store-front than Precision Camera, and they would not just scan and print, but also color-correct and photoshop small imperfections such as a wrinkle on a corner, etc, for the same price! For more extensive work , they would explain what they could do and the cost. They would also explain what you could expect as far as the image, which helped in making a decision to spend the extra cost or not. Precision Camera photoshop personnel has never offered me any similar service (maybe they don't offer it, I don't know). Other than getting to chose a finish (glossy, etc), I really don't see much advantage in driving all the way for Precision Camera's photoprinting service. I gave a rating of 2 stars because the store has a large variety of specialty products for photographers.
