Total Rip-Off. At my daughter’s previous school last year, a digital photo download (from Pret-a-Portrait), hi-res and suitable for printing, was less than £10. Therefore the £23 requested by Tempest is the very definition of a rip-off. There are no excuses they can make, it’s just price-gouging from parents who have no choice. I won’t be funding this company.

Hi Andrew, thank you for your review.
I am sorry to hear you are unhappy with the pricing of our digital download. It is important to understand the nature of the product. You are not simply buying an electronic file (for customers wishing just to have an electronic memento, we would suggest the Image to Mobile product), you are buying it with the license release for unlimited printing/file sharing, so the more you use and share the file, the better value for money it becomes. We store the images in a digital archive should our parents not be able to purchase at the time the images are taken, and who may wish to have the opportunity to do so at a later stage.
We do offer an extensive range of various products, including multi-image packs and electronic downloads. However, we introduce new items on a regular basis, so hopefully there will be a product available in the future that meets your requirements.
