I suspect, Photo CD's are like any other photographic process done commercially - If you find a good processor, that takes the time and wants to do a good job, stick with them. I never received Photo CD scans that were bad enough to warrant rescanning, but if I had I would have gone back to the processor and demanded a rescan. By accepting poor quality scans (like anything else), you're just supporting poor quality. -----Original Message----- From: Shel Belinkoff <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: RE: PESO: Flowers - don't look if offended 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?
