"Peak was one of the fastest mail order labs reviewed, with the processed film, prints and CD returned in just three days.

"Prints and CD scans were good, with bright colours, good skin tones and well-handled contrast.

"The CD is packed with extras and simple to use links to Peaks and Fuji's websites.

"Accessing pictures using Fuji viewer software is quick and easy and ensures you can adjust your images before printing."

"Prints and scans were both good. Colours and skin tones were accurate and results impressive.

"The scans looked a little flat, but nothing was too much of a problem. The CD contains free software, plus general info on photography and digital imaging.

"Using the software is quick and easy. If you're more experienced, the free software and info will be of limited use but they'll be handy for those getting started in digital photography."

"Prints and scans were bright, clean and saturated. Skin colours were warm but pleasing. The CD was simple to navigate, making viewing, printing and e-mailing your pictures easy.

"Included is MPN Photo Organiser that allows for basic manipulation and helps create albums, web pages or slideshows. The higher resolution will suit anyone wanting bigger prints.

"Turnaround time was 23 days instead of four because our test coincided with a high demand special offer."

"Prints and scans both exhibited weak, washed-out colours. Contrast was flat and skin tones had an unhealthy pink cast.

"Each scan needed work to get decent prints from it. The files should be large enough for average use, but you'll struggle if you want large prints.

"Unusually, the pictures were stored as Bitmap files, rather than one of the more common formats. Higher resolution images are available on request."
