Many of these services are using similar film recording and processing equipment. Color accuracy from PC screen grabs and digital camera pictures is preserved with this system. You do not need to set a DPI for the files as you would for a printer. Images are sized to the size of photo print that you choose, such as 8x10. The web sites have their own recommendations for pixel-resolutions that work best at different print sizes, generally 1024x768 or lower should be limited to 4x6 prints, 1280x1024 can be a 5x7, or 1600x1200 makes a good 8x10.
Higher resolutions make better prints, even at smaller sizes.
