Guys I need help..

Postby Phantom5000 » Sun Jul 16, 2006 11:13 am

Hey Mods, this involves screenshots so please dont move it.  Ok,  is it in the copyrighted interest of FS 2004  that you can take your screen shots and get them printed out as photos.  If it isnt, then why can we post them all over the internet?  Very confused about this cause Wal-Mart threw the biggest fit ive ever seen. ??? ??? ???

Actually walmart are very strict about the photos/shots they will process.
There have been a few people I have known who are pro's who took their digital photos in on a disk to be printed, some idiot behind the desk thought, hey this guy didn't take these they are so good they must be from the net, so we cant process them.
Take the shots elsewhere, you dont get a great print from these types of places anyway.
But Walmart are just covering themselves ::)

A friend of mine who's a photo buff says Shutterfly.com does exellent prints.  We've been using them for a while and are happy so far.  I'm not affiliated, nor is this an ad, just a testamonial from a happy customer.  Try sending them your screen shots?

At least some of you knew what i was talking about, wal-mart is a bunch of crazy people working there.  I called microsoft and they said they dont care if i print pictures off from flight simulator, they in fact encourage it.  I dont know, but i know im sick of wal mart associates. ::)

i dont like walgreens, least the one i went to a few times. Atleast 3 photos were damaged in every pack i brought in  ::) What you really need to do is find a good photo place (like the one mentioned above) and use that. Dont go to the stores that try to do evrything, alot of quality is lost.  ;D ;D ;) ;)

Get yourself a decent printer like the Epson R300 for example and print out your photos yourself!!!

Or if your not planning on going larger than 4x8 you can get the Kodak easyshare printer. I got one with my camera and the quality is amazing  :o  and it works directly from the camera or from the computer  ;D
