This question is not appropriate for this forum (and probably too amateurish) but I could not find a better one. If there is a better forum request that a moderator redirect this.
Each Christmas we have printed a book for each of our children/grandchildren highlighting our families activities over the past year. Typically these run about 300+ images. In the past couple of years I have used services like Snapfish and Shutterfly. They are pretty flexible in terms of page layout, adding text, cropping etc. However I have not been impressed with the quality of the images/printing. Images are soft and flat compared my edited images in Lightroom. So, some questions. Does anyone have a service to recommend? Secondly, on exporting .jpgs from Lightroom what settings and quality level/image size (in Mb) would you suggest for this type of printing?
