  1. instead of walmart you should use walgreens instead, if you live near one. if you go on the walgreens website, you can selecct pictures to develope and each one is only like 15 cents a picture. i once got 18 picture for less than $3


  2. You may want to crop the images to fit the ratio of the prints you are making.

    If you are having 4x6 inch photos, you will not have to do anything since your sensor is probably a 3:2 ratio.

    If you are having 5x7 inch photos printed, you will want to crop the image to that ratio ... same if you are printing 8x10 inch prints.   Use the cropping tool on the photo program you have and remember to save the new, cropped file as a different name so you do not overwrite your original file.

    You will find that having them printed at the lab is much less expensive than printing them yourself.

    I have done extensive tests and in the end the cost of paper, ink and original cost of printer is nearly 3 times that of having a proper print made at a lab.

  3. You should bring your camera if you have photos in the internal memory, or transfer it to your memory card if you can.  Bring the memory card, too. You can either have them print it for you or if they have those photo kiosk you can do it yourself - they'll teach you if you don't know how to use it - really easy to use. You can also do this at any place that develop photos, and has a photo kiosk.  You can also have it developed online if you have a lot.  This is a site that does it, and with today's gas, it's really cheap to go online to this site -  8 cents/copy + 99 cents shipping.
