Hey Guys I got a Datacolor Spyder 3 Pro a while ago and i took some photos of my baby niece on the weekend. anyways i just finished working on them and decided id test them out down at the local kambos photo lab.

When i got the photos they were very very very dull and seemed to be lacking the vibrance of my monitor. I realise the difference between the monitor profile being calibrated and their
printer profiles but seriously it cant be this far off?

I have my macs brightness maxed out but even when it's down to one bar its still brighter (marginally) than the printed copies.

any ideas?
