Looks like their servers are experiencing a lot of traffic at the mo - the image processing bit gives a message saying up to a 60 minute delay!!
RE: 1p prints until midnight tonight (9th Feb)
I got a digi camera for Christmas. The image sizes are all around 2.5MB Opening them up in PSP and they`re all 72dpi but it`s the physical size that changes when the camera resolution changes.
Given that these are only 6x4 prints what sort of size (pixels?) should I go for to resize to before I upload? Actually the camera photos are 1.333:1 so is the 6x4 1/2 the better option?
EDIT: Also, quote from site...
"If you are waiting to use our one day special offer, the deadline has been extended from midnight through to 10am tomorrow. Please try uploading later today when the queues are shorter."

Excellent - thanks.
Just ordered 100 prints, plus 3 8x10`s to use up the £10 free credit I got with them for registering when they first set up.
By the way - upload backlogs can be avoided by using the ftp upload method.

Yes, you should use 6x4.5 (the only problem you may have is finding a standard album to fit this size), To print at 300ppi, 6x300 = 1800 - 4.5x300 is 1350, so resize to 1800 x 1350. If this changes the aspect ratio, increase one of the sizes to keep the aspect ratio the same.

Thanks Tony.
Is 300DPI pretty much te standard for `professional` photo printing?
Is there a quick way to resize lots of photos? I`m sure PSP can do it with some sort of macro but there must be a nice little utility to do batches..?..
