Cindy, while I recommend Shutterfly, it did take a few images to get things like I wanted to. I don't use the inbuilt enhancements offered by online and kiosk printers like Wallgreen's, CVS and Walmart. You have to be sure the operator at the drugstores doesn't try to make you pics "better" when you already have what you want! One highly rated(by two reviews..yikes) is York Photo, an online printer. Truth is, I will likely use Walgreen's. Results have been good and if a store is convenient the speed is nice. They use Fugi. CVS uses Kodak processing and is also rated highly. Walgreen's will take online and ship if desired but I don't need to do that. Amazing..used to be we had to go to a photo studio or a photo store to get really good prints, from film. Digital has changed a bunch. For your friend, I suppose much depends on how much work they want to do on the shots to start with. I suspect most done commercially are straight from the cam. Yes, I put mine on cd first. I think Walgreen's takes TIFF as well as jpg but am not certain. Best wishes.
