It is quite tiring to hear people complain about places like Walgreens not printing professional or "professional-looking" photos. What does anyone expect? You are asking a person who is making $8-10 an hour to be able to decide what is professional and what is not to help a mult-billion dollar corporation avoid possible lawsuit situations. I applaud my employees for having enough conviction to stand up to pushy customers who mostly feel the bigger the stink they make, the more likely they are to get what they want. If something looks professional, ie. backgrounds, lighting, settings, etc. then don't print it. Also, I don't understand why someone who has their own lighting, backgrounds, etc. wouldn't also have their own photo printer? Seems pretty lame to me to be a semi "pro" and not have your own printer. They are very reasonable for pretty good quality--especially if most people feel retail chain photo labs' quality isn't that great. I also enjoy when people try to side-step copyrights by sending professional photos mixed in with other digital photos over the internet--seems a pretty sneaky thing to do for something that is not a "big deal". Follow the law or print them yourself--stop bitching about the so-called "shitheads".
Model Release to Print photos?!??!?!?
