Great experience with online photo processing services. Gotta share.

I usually like to support local businesses, especially Photography stores, but I've just had a great experience using online services.

First, for professional touch-ups go to tucia.com. They have three pricing levels and you get to pick the level of professional services. The site has examples of the kind of services that each level provides. You upload your digital photo and they'll return it within 24 hours. The pricing includes unlimited editing on the same photo until you're satisfied.

Then, for enlargements, send the digital to prodpi.com. Their website is a little difficult to navigate. They expect you to download a program that allows you to fill out their forms. But they're a professional service and the price for an enlargement was twenty dollars less than the local store. Mailing is three business day with tracking.

1. Thanks for posting

I just had some good luck with AdoramaPix and will use them again for some enlargements I want to do. Gave up on the local camera store Creve Couer Camera here in St. Louis (who email you that your photo is done at 1:27am only to find at 2pm it's still in transit to the location for pickup, and there was that little issue of a blurred photo) and on Walgreen's (who even for a Free enlargement, couldn't get the photo done at the time they specified or without cropping the top of the subject's head off).
