I started with Photo CD. It's a great way to get some images to begin working with
digitally. Unfortunately, at the time it had a bit of a problem with its color space
as interpreted by some programs. Check this website

I am definately able to get better scans (partly because I care more about the result
of my own pictures than anyone else) with my HP S20.
Panoramas will be tough unless the technician scans all the component images with the
same exposure and color adjustments.

Subject: Kodak Photo-CD: Good or Bad ?
Calling for input on Kodak Photo-CD.
Is it worth it? In my area, scans are $2.50 per
35mm frames, $6 for medium format (for the 5 pack
resolution), and the CD's are $13.
How good is the quality? All I need it for at this point is
to put a panorama together, i.e.
scan,
do the pano in photoshop,
and then send it back to the lab
for producing a 6x12 or 4x5 neg. or transparancy,
and then print.
Would I be better off with custom scans instead of mucking
about with the Kodak YCC color profiles?
