Strongly recommend you DON'T use Walmart photo for anything. Beware if you are going to print some "proffesional quality" looking photo, cups, calander etc !! when i was trying to pick up $3 worth of Christmas photo cards, they said they need print release! I was shock as i ve done this before never have issue! I said it was some individual that i paid to take the photo and we were given full resolution of the photo to prints and There is no copyright mark on the photo either, and i do not have the contact of that person on top of my head. What makes them to question and give me all sort of trouble on family photos that has no watermark or copyright marking on? They are asking this kind of question just because they look at my photo and said they think it is proffesionally taken and wont release it. I have to spend a long time going through my phone trying to find the contact of the photographer , when finally i got a text picture of the print release, then they said it needed to be printed out !!!!! Talked to the store manager and he supported this stupic practise too !!! If walmart suspect of the copyright of the picture, they should ask for the print release upfront ! By online, phone or email before even printing something that they believe has copyright issue. Instead, they stupidily went ahead, print out all the picture, and send me email telling me "order is ready for pick up", DIDN'T mention they want print release. Then when i am there,the person at counter look at the picture, and ask for print release!!! Because he said he think it is proffesionally taken photo and want print release!!!!! How stupic and rude !
Lesson learn!!! wont be returning either. Good luck if you want to print "proffesional looking" quality photo , especially if it is from long ago or sent to you from someone else. they will give you hard time when picking up. Stupic practise! Just found out online there are also a lot of complaints on walmart on that issue. read more
