Hey when you go and get prints done at a shop... do you return the prints you don't like (or get them to re-print them)? (Could be film or digital I guess)
I usually never do this (I assume the bad ones are due to bad photography)... but I was at the store the other day and saw this lady going through the photos and pulling out almost every second one!
I had a peek and her shots were all underwater ones... Half were unfocused, and half were taken with onboard flash (all the particles in the water were lit up) - I'd say most of the returns were due to her not knowing how to use the camera properly.
Yeah but anyway, getting side tracked here. Just wondering - is the photo shop obligated to re-print them or refund some of your money?

I am guessing it would be all in the contract, or store terms and conditions, some may offer a garantee.

But how do you know that the unfocused fuzzy pictures are a result of bad photography or a development fault?
in the case that shuttertalk mentioned i would be placing my money on poor photography.
Even if in the development process the photos turned out fuzzy I doubt it would be every second one..... maybe one or two tops.
But then again I am no expert in this field!!!!

hm.. i dunno...
i'd probably return some if they were clearly due to bad processing -- like some photos where you see the edge of another photo in the photo...

That's understandable...... I probably would do the same if that happened.

A friend I know used to return prints he was unsatisfied with. He used to work in a photo lab so he knows when it's the customer's fault and when it's the lab's fault.
He'd return prints that had little white spots - caused by dust/dirt from the machine scanner-thingamajigger, which the lab techs neglect to clean sometimes.
