Pictapic App is now available on App Store & Google Play

hi guys my name is Sarah and I am

actually really excited to do this photo prints

comparison experiment with you guys

I love to take pictures I love to get

pictures printed and I asked a lot of

people who they used for their printing

services and I got a lot of different

answers so um but what I've done is I

have sent the same photo prints to seven

different places and I want to do this

photo prints comparison I guess you could say I

do a blind photo prints comparison I'm going to

take each photo prints out of the packaging and

then I'm going to label who is the

company and then turn over just to see

the photo prints so hopefully I won't you know

be partial to one more than the other so

the first company that I used is Walmart

I did the ship to store because they

offered matte paper for ship to store I

don't really care for their glossy paper

they do glossy paper with their one hour

photo prints so that's why I didn't do that but

Walmart so because I did ship the story

to have to pay shipping and it was only

nine cents a print and I used their

matted paper so I'm going to just write

Walmart hey not looking at the photo prints and

there we go okay I did actually plant

two different photo prints one photo prints that I

printed is to show more skin tones and

then the other picture is more for

different colors that I have in the

picture in a skin tone so the next

company guy use this Shutterfly I have

heard a lot of people you should apply I

personally have not used them for

printing photo prints I have used them for

photo prints 

I really loved their photo prints books I've

made tons of them

so Shutterfly costs 36 cents for each

4x6 prints that I did and I used their

matted paper okay like I wanted

everything to match so mad at paper and

then they offered a dollar 88 shipping

so it didn't cost too much I kind of try

to look see these are just that and then

here are the prints

so I'm actually wanting to do this twice

so I'm hoping that I will pick the right

Shutterfly before I forget I'm hoping

that I will say oh this this company won

with both photo prints so Shutterfly okay so

next I used Walgreens this came in the

mail it's it's fair I mean it could be

bent for sure Walgreens I wrote my notes

on the side I long greens I spent 33

cents for each photo prints and it was a dollar

ninety-nine for their shipping and they

offered again glossy printing for one

hour and I don't really like glossy and

I didn't think glossy was you look the

same across the board so I tried

printing with the same type of paper all

over and so again Walgreens thirty-three

cents a dollar in order for shipping and

I use their matted paper so here we go

your can this is from Walgreens try and

just they did put this cardboard in

there so maybe it would be easier not to

hold it through the mail and I wanted to

hurry and write Walgreens

okay and okay so then the next the next

place that I did was CBS I've never used

CVS for any of their printing so I'm

excited to see what I do I hope I look

pretty good thanks about CBS's training

but there's there's a 30% spoiler by six

they like I said I didn't matter try to

do the same paper all across the board

so I did mad at paper and they offered

$0.99 shipping so we go and write CVS on

the back of these I just kind of

throwing these out there I'm hoping that

I can not remember where every picture

is okay I've three more left so I did

Amazon I did not know Amazon did

printing but they do and it turns out

that Amazon bought out Snapfish so I've

heard of people using Snapfish over the

years I've never used them but I ordered

all these prints on a Wednesday this

came Friday it was the first one that

came and beat everybody by two days

everything else came in the mail on

Monday so so as far as the fast shipping

this was here first

unless the Amazon was twenty nine cents

each print a little bit less than some

of the others and free shipping because

I have Amazon Prime and I got here

really fast so I hope they have good

results we'll see little little things

here they are

upside down so I can't see them and when

I put it right Amazon on the back here

okay two more to go

all right and then I have index I really

like in pics I use them a lot I

recommend in pics to a lot of people

that I know and I've used them for a lot

of printing so in pics it is they do

house I had em fix crown and I've not

used em fixed row so it came in the

sleeve with paper and it came in a nice

other little sleeve so you get something

to hold your things in and we go I'm

doing this like I said I'm doing this

twice and I'm going to write you know

pics on the back

I really like Hill Pyxis metallic paper

I always tell people to do it on their

metallic paper okay sorry

the last one here is Nations photo prints lab I

was very impressed with the shipping

this was huge

definitely it won't Bend I mean

everybody else kings in these little

this is more economic but I mean this

was very cool I'm actually excited to

see about how they so this is nation

state lab it was very easy to use them

so you decide what kind of is here

they put some other wrapping in here and

my pictures they also gave me something

else my receipt two forms I think so

what that is and I came in this little

envelope type thing the little thing and

then the prince

so nations photo prints lab is last on the list

so

okay I am very excited to see how these

really look compared to one another all

right here we go

we're not to say about Nations photo prints 

is I paid 32 cents for their 4x6 prints

and they were the most expensive when it

came to shipping they were 395 for

shipping vet um you know hopefully

they're worth it so let's see so I have

kind of ranked what I like as far as

color goes this is one of the very top

right is very different it's it's not

bad it's just it just looks so much

different compared to these others and

so I don't know if it's my my favorites

or these favors it's it looks so much

different so I want to know what you

think am I completely off like do you

you might like the ones that I don't

like so let's see which one is who so

here is Nations photo prints lab that makes me

very happy that makes me very happy

because they are a professional they

kind of more geared to photo prints so

this is nation so Dilla they did they

actually did a really good job and this

one looks good too like it looks very

similar to nations fight a lot I can't

tell much of a difference um so I'm

excited to know this is as far as skin

tones it looks it looks very close I

don't I don't see much of a difference

and CVS and that actually kind of makes

me very happy too because I did hear

good things from CVS so um CVS Wow

and then like I said this one is just

I don't know it's it's not bad it's just

so different I don't know

it's Shutterfly like I said it's not a

bad it's not bad anyway it's just so

different the colors are just kind of

off a little bit on it but but not a

terrible way but I it just kind of

sticks out like a sore thumb

and then these two these two are very

similar to me they both kind of have an

orange tint to them a little bit almost

looks like there's a vintage filter on

them but they look very similar to me

this is Walmart and then this is

watering

so that okay that a little good that I

did that pretty well because they look

very similar so there you go but like I

said with both of them I use matted

paper and I did the ship to store so I

don't know what they're one hour of

printing looks like maybe I'll have to

give them a chance okay these two are so

different I mean you might like one

better than the other it's again it's

your preference but this is just very

rich in color it's not it's not terrible

but this one is just so dull looking

especially when you compare the two

Amazon this is Amazon and ah this is in

pics Wow okay let's let's see okay let

me compare a nail pics picture this is

Nations photo prints lab I can see a big

difference just of course I hope you can

see it through the camera but that is a

huge difference this has just just

really washed out and it's really dull

looking

so there you go let's compare nations

photo prints  to Amazon

it's definitely brighter and of course

each photo prints is going to have just a

little bit of difference but but I this

is very rich and this looks more just

the way that I remember seeing it okay

well there you go

nations if CBS are kind of my favorites

so I am actually going to now do this

again with my other photo prints so let me

know what you think okay I put a lot of

pressure on myself because I just did

this with another photo prints so I'm hoping

that I still have the same results this

one for sure looks just like it would

have come right from my computer it it

looks it looks great her skin tone is

it's good this just it just looks great

I really really like this photo prints and I'm

sure I don't know who this is but let's

see its nations very loud oh my goodness

I picked them for the last time so

nations photo prints lab did a great job and

then this other one here it's it's it's

it's a little different just a tad how

to make sure this is about this it's

just the greens are a little different

but overall it still is not a bad photo prints 

make sure to focus here okay um but

everything looks really good on it

CVS again very comparable to

I mean there's not too too much wrong

with them they're great I really don't I

would never know I would never know

honestly as far as when it comes to

these prints they're just they're just

too similar and again I'm hoping oh my

gosh I'm hoping that these two are kind

of in the same boat with the last time

these two are are kind of in the same

boat because they have that same orange

iconic a vintage cast to it it's kind of

hard to see unless you compare it but

they're not terrible but there is this a

slight difference when you compare it so

I'm just gonna take this random one and

prepare it to Nations okay so we're

going to compare everything to Nations

photo prints so again nations fell out

compared do you see the difference in

the skin tone especially it's really

dull looking

it's just enough so see see these are

already Walmart and Walgreens oh my god

I'm like super nervous because I totally

thought I would somehow mess those up so

that's again kids know they are just

just very similar there's just a hair of

a difference maybe an exposure but

overall they look very similar um okay

so again I wouldn't say that these are

the worst photo prints if I got them these

last three I like I said I probably

would not be thinking it's bad but this

one is definitely the most and the most

brightest one it is just very very

bright if you want to compare it to yeah

I get a nation's photo prints lab I don't know

who this is oh my gosh but there's a

huge difference it's a lot brighter

crystal looks a little washed out in

this picture she's very bright she has

no skin color she just white compared to

this one oh okay who am i comparing this

to again this is nations this is Amazon

Amazon was pretty bright I feel like the

last time but there you go that's Amazon

Amazon and then this is Nations gosh

okay

when you compare when you lay it down

and look it's just it's very different

between the two here but when you

compare it when you compare nations

photo prints so this one impacts the color

is just a little bit different it's not

terrible but it looks much different

than nations - laughs okay so this is

impacts this is nations photo prints that

it's it's definitely brighter it's just

it's not honestly it's not that great

okay and then last we have Shutterfly

Shutterfly this is nations Shutterfly

there is a little bit of a difference in

color this one's a little duller so

there you have it
