A friend showed me several discs of Photo CD scans and I was not impressed
at all.  If you've got a lot of slides or film to scan, you'd be ahead of
the game economically to get a good film scanner, and with a little
practice and reading of some on-line tutorials, you'll be getting better
results in short order.

I don't recall now, but can you get a 16-bit TIFF file from a Photo CD?

Local processor was keeping it going on their own. Last time I checked,
several years ago now, they were still offering Photo CD's.

point/black point even tho the original slide exposures were spot on.
