I've given them both on CD.  No difference.

I'm sure that would help, but they are a very busy shop and I doubt they
would take the time to do that just for me.  The kids barely have enough
time to squeeze their zits. <g>

I too, tried it specifically for my wedding work.  The price was right,
but the quality at my local Wallmart just isn't that good.  Also, I
don't like having it say "Wallmart" on the back of every print.
