Experience
I have been running a photo lab for over 39+ years. From Black & White darkrooms to fully automated colour C-41, E-6 and digital print systems. I can look after your photo printing needs. In addition to the equipment, I am fully colour trained! Trained by Fuji, Kodak, Epson & Adobe. I print for many very picky customers. I am just as picky so I know what they expect.
Most places that offer photo printing in Lethbridge do not have trained lab staff. Nor are the staff even photographers or trained in understanding photo colors. At the best they guess at colors and density. NOBODY offers the help I do in selecting the correct media and adjusting the images so they look their best.
Paterson Photography / First Choice Photo has the training, the media and the service you want! Get professional quality prints so your images look their best!!

The benefits – Photo Printing Lethbridge
Below are a few items that I offer to help make your prints more vibrant and your life easier.
Test Strips
How many times have you wished that the print color was changed just a little. At other labs, they tell you that they can do it “If you buy another print”. Then just when you get it close they change operators or supplies and you have to start all over. I offer test strips for your approval if needed. Once the color is to your liking I save the adjusted image.
Monitor Proofing
When you bring in files to be printed you can check the image on my color corrected monitors. I can then adjust the colors while you are waiting so you can see what your prints will look like.
Color corrected viewing lights
Nothing worse than trying to look at a print in a store that either has way too many lights or not enough. It makes it impossible to know if the print will look good when framed and hung on a wall. I have color corrected lights in my viewing room. Going that extra mile with photo printing in Lethbridge
Color Adjusting, Burning, Dodging
If you have files that need to be tweaked a little more I can help. NO PROBLEM.
File Archiving
Need prints done regularly from certain files? I can archive your files on our system. Then all you need to do is to call with the sizes and the quantities. Plus, you know the colors will be the same as all the other work as we save your color preferences.
Color Matching
One of the biggest problem photographers face is the fact that they never get the same color on two different print sizes. Sometimes the difference is night and day. All my prints from wallets to 24×100 prints will look the same, same color, same density. Try this at other labs!
Turn Around Time
Everything is printed in house at our Lethbridge office. Work can be done in as little as one hour for basic printing. Next day for printing, laminating, mounting & framing. The same week for coated canvas prints. Rushes may be available.
Archival
Our printing is rated by independent test labs at well over 100 years.
