    wont it take long to upload 100 pictures which are about 3MB each?

    if i do resize them then dont i lose quality?

        Sure, and if you ever want to blow up a photo for Nan or print a calendar, it looks like you've taken the pics on an old mobile phone. How about recommending the user downloads a good, free image batch resizer? Fotosizer is a good one. You can get on without calling people ignoramuses!

      • kimmik on 22/05/2010 - 18:03

        if kodak's prints are good, you'll likely see the difference between a 5mp and 2mp image. i'd say >5mp for a 6*4 is less necessary.

        install: http://imageresizer.codeplex.com/

        select your relevant images, right click -> resize (choose resolution) -> create new files

        this way you quickly get photos of an uploadable size, about 1MB for 5mp.

        • Duff5000 on 24/05/2010 - 12:22

          No you wont see a difference as long as the resolution is 1800x1200 (2.2 MP) and above there will be no difference on a 6x4. Labs usually print at 300dpi.

          Easiest pic resizer i have used is "pixresizer". It's free and takes only a few clicks to convert an entire folder of photos, just use the "batch" tab.

          • eug on 25/05/2010 - 01:35

            @Duff5000: theoretically, if the printing device or host's resampling algorithms suck, a higher-res image can actually look worse than an image at a lower native resolution.

            (e.g. try irfanview with 'fast resampling' enabled)

            fortunately they usually don't. :)

    Man the kodak express uploader was awful when I was using opera, it only let me upload 1 photo at a time. It would have taken ages to upload 100 photos like that.

    Luckily I decided to try internet explorer and I could upload all my photos at once.

    I just tried doing one photo now. I entered the code at checkout and it said "Promotions applied to this order:
    100 free 10x15 prints". But it also said "The item(s) in your shopping cart do not qualify for this promotion. Please check promotional details".

    I went back and ordered the same photo x 100 and it worked. So it seems you need to order a minimum of 100 photos to qualify

    Select "Print sizes and pricing" from the Left Menu under "Ordering Prints and Gifts"
    and click on "Pickup Locations" for a list of pickup locations…

  • Money Saving Master on 22/05/2010 - 11:15

    Also it would only let me order 10x15 prints (still free if you order 100). The bigger size is fine by me but did it happen to anyone else?

    • alamodey on 22/05/2010 - 12:01

  • alamodey on 22/05/2010 - 12:03

    Glossy or matte?

    • iSamurai on 22/05/2010 - 15:23

      glossy. i tried matte last time and I regret it coz the colour was flat. I would definitely go with glossy this time — just make sure you hold the photos on the edges so you don't get finger smudges all over. you WILL still get finger smudges on matte but it's not as visible. so just wash your hands before handling :)

      • alamodey on 22/05/2010 - 16:13

        ah, too late. i went with matte coz i prefer dull images over smudges.

  • gummibears on 22/05/2010 - 16:17

    So you must resize all your uploaded photos to 700x1050 pixels? Takes some time doing it in photoshop, any other faster recommended way? Great post. Thanks.

    • retiredfeline on 22/05/2010 - 16:29
      +3

      No, that's just the minimum suggested. You can always use a higher resolution but the upload times will increase. That's the trade-off.

      • gummibears on 22/05/2010 - 16:31

        Oh okay thanks. Time to receive some distorted images and learn from it. First time printing photos..

    • Roja on 23/05/2010 - 14:30

      You can always use PIXresizer, which is capable of batch converting to a lower res if uploads are an issue

  • Gish on 22/05/2010 - 17:07
    +7

    Brilliant!

    Problems found (and solutions!)
    1. If you only have 99 prints (rather than the full 100) the code will not apply, and it will appear at full price (22cents). Simple solution, order doubles of whatever prints you like!

    1. Also… Your pictures need to be 6 MB or less each. Although if you are printing 6x4 images, 6 MB per image is more than sufficient. Just compress them. ACDsee seems to do a good job. Download the free trial and use the batch menu after right clicking within the software. Otherwise use photoshop or some other image editing software to make sure its under 6 MB.

    2. For those who can't calculate, 6x4 inch is roughly equal to 15x10 cms. So select that, with glossy print and you'll be right.

    3. The recommendation to online upload 40 at a time didn't apply to me. I threw 100 in, and it worked fine. You might have troubles if you have a slow net connection though.

    All in all, a brilliant voucher! Will look forward to seeing what Kodak prints are like.

    Thanks heaps for this thewinchester! You're a legend!

    P.S. For those that whinge about the quality of the printing, Go to snapfish and use the 50 free prints code.
    P.P.S. For those that snapfish OR kodak isnt good enough for you, go somewhere else and PAY for the prints.
    You shouldn't have any reason to complain if they are free!

    • pkwak on 24/05/2010 - 14:29

    Thanks to the original poster.

    I just used picasa (free google picure manager)and used the star function to select the photos i wanted. I then exported them to a folder at 1600 pixels width and uploaded to the kodak website. Average photo size was 1Mb and it took an hour to upload. Worked a treat. Hopefuly they print out ok but no loss if they don't. I selected free pickup option 5 minutes down the road.

    Just have to do the same for the other family members under their email address and save ourselves $88. ;-)

  • poxdac on 23/05/2010 - 11:15

    Thank you very much I just bought a new camera and this worked out perfectly.

  • chocolates on 23/05/2010 - 16:00

    You don't need to resize/export your photos to a smaller size if the size is under 6mb.
    One way to check if the photo will fit ok on to a 6x4 (or 10x15cm) without cropping is:
    1. Look at your photo resolution, e.g. 4368x2912 pixels
    2. Divide the higher number by the lower one i.e. 4364 / 2912
    3. If this works out to be 1.5 then your photo will print ok without any cropping needed.

    Try not to export your photos to a smaller size unless you need to :)

  • gummibears on 23/05/2010 - 21:20

    According to my bank transactions, I was charged twice. I can't find a "contact us" link anywhere on the site. Could someone link me? Thanks.

    Edit: I only received one receipt/email confirmation so therefore one order also.

    Edit 2: The email is at the bottom of the email for those playing at home..

    • Gish on 23/05/2010 - 22:44

      It should have been free. I entered the code and checked out without entering credit card info. If you filled in credit card info rather than the promo code I would suggest it's probaby not a problem with the site but more of a problem of user error.

      • gummibears on 24/05/2010 - 14:19

        I opted for delivery so I had to pay for that and got charged twice (according to online bank statement). It could be that the statement is delayed or something, it says that it is not final. So I'll give it a few days to see if there are any changes to the statement before I contact Kodak about it.

  • [Deactivated] on 23/05/2010 - 23:21

  • Duff5000 on 24/05/2010 - 12:15

    Regarding size: You really only need 1800x1200 to print a 6x4 (anything larger is not going to help). These digital labs normally print at 300 DPI so 1800x1200 is all that is going to be printed.

    Dont campare this 300 dpi to what is quoted on injet printers btw.

  • Super8Tab on 24/05/2010 - 14:07

  • rifter on 24/05/2010 - 15:11

    Is there a way to upload a whole directory (of 100 images)? As far as I can see we must enter each image separately and upload in groups no larger than 12. Not too worried about the upload time, this can happen while I'm doing something else. But, if we must enter each image separately this will take a lot of manual labour. Is it worth it?

    • retiredfeline on 24/05/2010 - 15:28

      I believe somebody reported success by uploading using Picasa and then exporting from Picasa to Kodakexpress. I can believe that Picasa is more reliable than the Java applet Kodakexpress supplies. You can tell how old the Kodakexpress site is when they write about being compatible with Netscape. lol!

      I think a nice bonus is that Picasa will scale the picture down to 1600 px wide. Not sure if this is done client side or server side. If client side then that's good because it cuts down your upload time.

      likewise, i didn't get a confirmation email either … :S

      EDITED: May 28, 2010

      If you didn't receive a confirmation email after submitting the order, that means the order did not go through. I wrote in to their Customer Service to check, and they've confirmed that they did not receive my order.

      You should receive an email after submission with a confirmation order number. With that reference number, you'll be able to check on your order status.

    Picked up my photos today (Melbourne). Uploaded exactly one week ago. Print quality is acceptable at best. But hey there were free. About 20% of prints have lines through them (like when a print cartridge is running out on your home printer). Not sure if all prints come out of the same lab. I am a keen hobby photographer so maybe I am fussier than most when it comes to prints. Still a positive vote because they cost nothing but my time.

  • [Deactivated] on 28/05/2010 - 19:05

    Just finished uploading my order and it took alot of patients and effort, the web page kept crashing and freezing when trying to upload 40 photos as recommended, uploading in lots of 15 was better but slow even with a broadband cable connection, I wont complain as its free but I would never pay to use this service.

      Also picked up ours from Carindale today.

      Quality looks great.

      A couple of headless shots, maybe I didn't have the right resolution. LOL.

    if you get the order shipped email, does that mean its ready for pickup?

        Mine didnt so dont count on it. After receiving the email maybe give them a call 5-6 working days later. Your chosen pickup store number is listed in the email.
