If you want a better quality photographic print, you can copy the file to a flash drive and take it to a CVS or other photo printing place to make prints. CVS also has an online photo-ordering service where you send the image over the internet to them and it will probably be ready for you when you go to pick it up. Not all CVS stores have this photo service.
