When I take my 35mm film roll in to my local photo lab for developing, I get a
set of prints on CD. Can they print a 5 x 7 inch enlargement of one of these
CD prints after I have made some changes with GIMP, or will they only be able
to make a print from the negative (which I can't make changes

OK, thanks.
I just wondered if the CD photos would have the right information - I read

It depends on the pixel dimensions - if the

It depends on the pixel dimensions - if the CD photos are only 360 px
by 504 px ( which is 5x7 at 72 DPI), you will not get very high
quality prints. However, I suspect the CD photos are probably much
