In one of Shakespeare's plays he has one of his characters say "First thing
we
do is shoot all the lawyers" or words to that effect. I think it was
probably
a good sentiment then and it's doubly a good idea now! It's simply absurd
that Wally World won't print your photos. You scanned them. They are
your work. They are not the photographers any more. He/She is dead!
I suggest you find another professional printer.
Would that mean that if you included that photo or a crop from it in a
report
that you generated with Legacy that they could professionally print the .pdf
of the file for the same silly reason?
