Digital BW, The Print

Hi:

You can take your film to a drugstore and order a cd (Kodak's Picture 
CD) but the files are "consumer resolution". Read low rez. I've heard 
WalMart offers a similar service for slides, but again, Low Rez.  Once 
I had all my memory cards maxed out on holidays and went to London 
Drugs  who offered to burn all my images to cd. Guess what? Low Rez. 
Yes there are online stores but I'm not sure what they offer. I know 
some offer enlargements of images you upload.

Consumer Beware. Ask for "professional resolution". They will assume 
"consumer resolution" or may not even be aware of any options.

Get a decent film/slide scanner and if you scan enough of your 
negatives, the cost per scan will be pennies. The resolution will more 
than equal a 6MP camera. You only need to scan the good ones.
