I know someone who had the same problem at Jessops. He has a calibrated 
monitor which he worked from, none of the images from Jessops came
anywhere 
near. Guess what, Jessops said thier machine was calibrated daily too.

I don't trust high street or online developers, they seem to do what they 
want.

Next they will be selling Semi gloss as Matte. Oh they already are!!!!

Avoid.
