Bob's file was a jpeg - 5000x3000 pixels (as he mentioned) is a
pretty decent-sized file. That'd be 43Mb as an 8-bit tiff.
The disappointing result with the colours may have been due to gamut
clipping. I don't know what model of printer his lab used but it can
be quite difficult to reproduce very strong colours with an inkjet
printer.
If you have the appropriate profile installed, and have colour
management set up in Photoshop, you can activate the Gamut Warning
which will highlight areas that will be clipped. How accurate that
is, I don't know.
