Sam,
AFAIK, Kodak has a pretty good stranglehold on the photo CD market. I
think much of that out there for public access is their proprietary
package.
If any "photo processor" -- which isn't directly linked to Kodak -- is
offering 'pics on disks' to the public, they are most likely very poor
quality.
Since Kodak uses a CD for each roll of film processed, that would appear
to indicate some rather large files ... i.e. high resolution graphics.
You might drop by the Kodak site [there *has* to be one] and do a bit of
digging to find out what quality digital imaging is standard for their
process.
