If you do print out at Costco, be sure to turn off the auto-correct
option as you finalize the web printing order, as that can really blow
out a picture. This feature is designed for non-photographers who
don't slave over their pictures adjusting the color balance, contrast,
gamma, etc. etc. in photoshop or a similar program and yet still want
their crappy photos to look half-decent.
