In Los Angeles, there are a variety of places that do Photo CDs. The easiest is the local drug store which Makes the CD just after they develop the film (whether they do it on premises or send it out). There are also photo labs (that do the typical wide range of photo lab work). Some of these labs will develop film and make a Photo CD, but most of them are also set up just to make a Photo CD from your negatives. They can do the whole roll or selected images. Typically the labs will offer a discount price where they just scan the image (79 to 99 cents each) and a "colored corrected" price of about $3 each. Some labs also have different prices depending on whether you want it overnight or in a week. Photo CD images are stored in YCC format so you need a program that can open them. Photoshop does, for instance can deal with YCC images but a web browser cannot. For me, one of the biggest reasons to use Photo CDs is that the images come on a CD in five different resolutions with image index. Storage is easy.
