I just bought a Canon Rebel XTi, my first SLR camera. I took my kids to the beach in the evening for a photo shoot. The sun was going down so the light was low. I used the Canon 28-135mm lens on Auto focus and in regular mode. I took lots of pictures and when I loaded them on the computer they looked great however when I print them out, you can see the pixels. They are not out of focus. I have tried reducing noise in Photoshop, sharpening them, using filters. Nothing works. I want to figure out what happened so I don't repeat. I don't know much about f/stops but maybe I had this set wrong. The camera automatically figured out the ISO setting.

I actually took the advice of some panelists and had a copy printed at the photo lab. While the picture does look better, it is still grainy and now has a purple iridescent glow on my children's shirts. That was printed straight from the compactflash card. Weird. I think maybe I need to take them again in better light or with a dfferent ISO setting. I just wish I knew what caused that to happen on that particular photo shoot because none of my other pictures print out like that. I have a pretty new HP printer and haven't had the problem on any other pictures taken with this camera or with my other one.

That's your prob. right there, "the camera figured out the ISO setting". Set the ISO, maybe to 100 and try again. It is truly spoked, or spake, or spaked that photographers are the only artists who don't practice. Go outside at the same time and bracket; shoot one shot at ISO, 50, 100, 200, 400, 800. Whichever one you like is the setting at that light.

Tough to call on the problem description you've given, but in general if it looks OK on screen it shouldn't look too much different in print.
Try this:
1. Perform printer nozzle maintenance -- your driver shows you how.
2. Make sure the print quality is set at High and that the printer is set for the paper you're using.
3. Turn off any special effects your printer may have dialled in.
With some printers the ink dries out in the carts if they sit around -- new ink should solve it.
If no luck, take the disk into your local photo store and have them run off a print.
If it's better, it's new printer time 4 U..
Hope this helps.

Try printing the same picture with another printer, if it's ok then your printer probably require maintenance or resetting of its speed.

try getting one or two developed at Target or Walmart or Costco. You'll know if it's your printer or not. It should be set at 225 to 300 dpi

It all depends on what resolution you had it set on and the size of picture you are trying to print
