[QUOTE="WildcatB, post: 258888, member: 10379"] 1) You should defiantly have it printed. 2) For smaller prints, Walmarts with Fuji Frontier printers do great if and only if they are color managed properly. You can download store specific profiles at [URL="http://www.drycreekphoto.com/icc/using_printer_profiles.htm"]Dry Creek Photo[/URL] They also include instructions on how to use them. If you are not sure how to "color manage" your photo then you shouldn't use Walmart.You'll need to send it to a place that will take care of editing and color management for you. It will cost more but you'll have a better chance of getting a good print. I haven't used them in a long time (6+ years...) but you might try [URL="www.westcoastimaging.com"]West Coast Imaging[/URL]. As far as how big to print... that's up to you. If you print at 300 ppi you'll have an un-interpolated 8x10... but you can defiantly go bigger. How big depends on what your personal print quality tolerance is assuming you want as big of print as possible. There are no hard and fast rules here. Some people don't mind the look of a small file printed big... some do. If it was me I would go over 11x14 with a file that size. However, it may look fine to you printed bigger.
