Shop n Chek photo shops

Are you reducing your pictures to email size in your photo editor software beofre saving them and downloading?
I agree, their fees are way too low and I hate their report forms with only 2-3 questions per page. It takes longer to enter the report than it did to do the shop.

I also have done some gas shops with Shop n Check. The 2 shops were [gas station shops]. Really bad conditions with lots of photos. When it came time to download the photos, I realized that I was doing the job of auditor, photographer, and photo editor for them, and not being paid even for just one position. The photo process was very difficult and complicated. After I dowloaded the first part of the second set of photos for the first shop, I decided to just cut my losses and ditch both of the jobs. I lost my $4 investment in the shops and did not get paid, but at least I was no longer donating my time. I will not touch ANY photo jobs for them. I see that the list of shops is still there, even a month later.

I resolved the picture issue. I upload them to the batch load. And I go to the lowest pixel on my camera and I haven't had any complaints yet.
Also I have had a receipt issue with them. I send them my reciepts and also take a picture of my reciepts in the upload. They blocked me out because they said that I didn't send them the reciepts for January. They said that I didn't even send them the reciepts. For th whole month of January. So they said reupload them to them but I can't even get into my account to do so and so I have to snail mail them the reciepts I did that a few weeks ago and I still am blocked. They need to look in thei own backyard.

A caution about Nikon cameras. There are a lot of them out there on the
shelves with old software called Picture Project that they no longer even
support.I had ap problem, called Nikon, and had to download their newer
software. If you are getting a new camera, make sure the software that comes
with it is the latest thing the camera maker offers.

Download Irfanview from irfanview.com for resizing your pics. It's free and very easy to use. Just look up "resizing" in the help file.

Hi Everyone

I finally did some gas station shops and other shops with photos for Market Force(shopnChek). My son put Microsoft Office Picture Manager on my computer. And it worked great. Resized all the photos at once when I finally figured out how to highlight them all!

Maybe I will branch out now to Martiz and their gas shops.

Glad the photos worked out for you! It usually is simply a matter of being shown how to do it because it isn't rocket science but it isn't necessarily intuitive.

Microsoft has a link on their site about downgrading Vista back to XP, or rather upgrading back to XP. I'm sorry, I don't have the URL, but maybe someone can provide it.

You can change your photo sizes before uploading with Irfanview, a free program from www.irfanview.com. You can also do contrast, color and brightness adjustment.
