So, I have a who boatload of photos I want to get printed. I had 250 printed through Costco (its real cheap, they do a decent job...sort of...) I wanted to see them in print them select several to have done larger. BUT in the small size (I got 4x6 but it happens with most of their sizes up until the large prints) they crop the sh#t out of them, basically ruining your photos and making you look like a putz of a photog (which I am I guess).
Do you have any suggestions on where to get photos printed in normal sizes (4x6 or 5x7) that wont crop them to make them fit?
Do you know where to get custom size panoramas printed out (things that are maybe 2-4 feet long)?
I like cheap but after the other fiasco I am willing to pay a little more to have it done right.

Kinkos has those big color scanner/printers, your mileage may vary with those clowns.You can take them a floppy.
I would rather go to Pop Copy.
Get The Cosmic to do the reframe recrop.
I had the guy put some Lazertran Label paper to make a db label for a Pultec EQP-1A, it's a 1950's tube eq, everybody loves them, Aerosmith, blah blah blah, anyway, they had a big $35,000 lazer machine, machine, "No man, it won't jam, I promise. Is your boss here?"
So the guy loads the floppy, loads the Lazertran, halfway thru I hear the paper stop, then a few seconds later the smoke starts coming out from the middle of an un accessable panel, and my tail lights were all you could see.
I went back a few weeks later and there was a new guy working there. "Hey man, this is called Lazertran Paper.."

Hoi,
4x6's should not have any cropping if you are shooting DSLR. Depending on the camera there may be some as different manufacturers have slightly different formats. If you are using a point-and-shoot then there may be more significant cropping. Your manual should tell you more.
