well to get one shot i wanted i had to resort to film and the bellows and still have to get them developed, scanned and uploaded.

Alas, the one shot I really wanted to catch for this week resulted in a tall cold glass of FAIL. I have others, but I *really* wanted the one I had pictured in my head. Ah well…

haha! But I said pictured IN my head, not on it 😉

I can hardly wait til midnight. This is going to be fun.

Girl Scout: Is this made from real lemons?
Wednesday: Yes.
Girl Scout: I only like all-natural foods and beverages, organically grown, with no preservatives. Are you sure they’re real lemons?
Pugsley: Yes.
Girl Scout: Well, I’ll tell you what. I’ll buy a cup if you buy a box of my delicious Girl Scout cookies. Do we have a deal?
Wednesday: Are they made from real Girl Scouts?

Damn, sorry to hear that, Curious. I’ve never been impressed with those picture CD’s…always seems like they’re scanned in at very low resolution, so I just stopped getting them after awhile.

my first entry is from the CD. didn’t install the software on the CD but used their viewer then used windows explorer to copy them. there were two sets of files and this was from the high res set. roughly 10 times the file size. did two rolls today both with CDs and the other is ok. it’s flowers shot using the macro mode on a 28-70 minolta lens. but as you say it isn’t great. it’s hardly good. will try scanning the negs later and see how that goes.

I’ve found that the Kodak minilab CDs seem to be generally the worst – low resolution and very compressed – you can pretty much only use them for low resolution web images. They do work for Farktography size images, though (sometimes with some level tweaking). Noritsu and Fuji CDs seem to be a bit better, but you’re pretty much always going to have to scan them yourself (or pay out the nose for pro scans) if you need high resolution….

sleeping it’s fuji equipment at the local wal-mart. the CD has a fuji editing program but i didn’t install it. since i already have the fuji picture viewer thing on another computer guess it wouldn’t hurt to try it here. the fuji viewers came with the fuji point and shoot(s) that i have.
