Development? Anonymous
I have a DSLR although I do not have a photo printer So I took the pictures I had taken at an anime convention to the Target to their development Kiosk where you can quickly printthem out or get one hour development. I wanted to get the 5x7 prits but one cost about a $1.50 and the 4x6 prints cost .30 so some of the pictures got important parts cut off.
Should I buy a photo printer? Does it really matter which kind? a friend has a 3 in one printer that can except a photo ink cartridge.

Getting your prints printed online (e.g., from Adorama or any of the many other photo printing services) will actually probably be cheaper than getting a photo printer. The printers are cheap, but ink and paper are fucking expensive.

Big mistake getting an Olympus 4:3'rds sensor then
Nikon Canon and pretty much everyone else use a 3:2, which works perfectly for 4x6, 8x12 and 12x18 +

4:3'rds suck for pretty much everything

Just crop the photos yourself to desired aspect ratio before you take them to a kiosk. This can apply not only to Olympus, but sometimes to other cameras as well since there are print sizes that don't match any sensor aspect ratio at all (5x7, 11x17 etc.) Or print them with white borders and then cut the borders off.

Also there's something very wrong with the photo you posted. I suspect it's badly calibrated noise reduction.

Myself, I've given up on printing photos a long time ago. Why do this when even my grandfather has a computer with a big color monitor? I print only the stuff I need to send over snail mail or hang on the wall, so per-photo costs don't matter that much.

The white balance and exposure are really out -- I suspect the fluorescent light was metered for.

But something also fucked up all the textures and added really weird smudges. Most Olympus SLRs do fail at ISO 1600, but definitely not this hard.
I've seen a similar effect a few times when I tried to apply noise reduction in NeatImage with a wrong noise profile.
