I edited some pictures with iPhoto, and sharpenening them just a little 
made them look clearer on the monitor.  I then put 8-10 on one 8.5x11 
page in Appleworks drawing and printed them at Wal-mart for a friend to 
use in scrapbooking.  The results are horrible - everything is splotchy 
and grainy - the way it looks when I over-sharpen.

I printed them again on my home HP printer, and they are just as bad.

The pictures look perfect on my monitor, so I don't know why this is 
happening.  Could it be because I shouldn't have adjusted the sharpening?

When I've done slideshows on iMovie, I have always sharpened the photos 
just a bit, and they look much better.  The pictures that look great in 
iMovie look horrible when printed.

Any advice or suggestions?

Thanks.
