- I just started to put my old photographs on the new Kodak PhotoCD. I have
- set up a copy stand to shoot the originals with a slow speed film 35 ISO.
- Then for 35.00 canadian I get Negs, Prints, and a CD back (price includes
- all three). Each CD holds up to approx. 100 images which are scanned in
- at 5 different resolutions (3072 x 2048 and down to 192 x 128) in 24 bit
- color. This way I set up a different CD for each Surname (like an album).
- If you have old negatives that you wish to have transfered to CD the cost is
- more due to them being cut.
-
- I don't work for Kodak, I just thought the info would be useful.
