I called the lab technician who had done the scans and said, "the images I get from the Nikon supercool scan look much better than the Kodak Photo CD scans." "Of course," he said, "it is newer technology." Frankly, it is much easier to drop 50 images into the bulk loader and come back in an hour (suitable invirgorated by coffee latte) than Fedex images or drive an hour to the lab and wait a week and pay a dollar each and still have to spend quite a bit of time cropping and correcting the images, especially if you don't need 5 sizes. Live and learn the hard way. FYI, donal - -- __________ Donal Philby San Diego www.donalphilby.com
