Tips for preparing photos for print

[sxtasy]

I would like to take a cd of pictures in for print. Which stores offer best quality? How should I process my images from raw, and what format should i present to the printers?

Any tips for really nice prints?

Though I've never used them yet, Costco gets a lot of love around here.

I always save the file as a TIFF before going to print.

All you need to do is:

- Convert to CMYK in Photoshop
- Make sure the resolution is 300 dpi at the size you want the prints
- Save as an uncompressed tiff

Then you're ready to go!
