She took some product shots, and asked how she should send them to me. I told her to get a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kodak.com\/global\/en\/professional\/products\/storage\/pcdMaster\/aboutPCD.jhtml\">Photo CD<\/a> made from the negatives.<\/p>\n<p>Now, Photo CD is a specific, high-quality format for storing photos digitally; it&#8217;s not just a CD with photos on it. She goes to Ritz Camera, gives them the film and asks for a Photo CD. Yes, by name. But apparently the Ritz halfwits knew better, and (as near as I can tell) scanned her prints on a dusty scanner that blew out all the highlights, and burned that onto a CD along with all kinds of Windows cruft. Ce&#231;i n&#8217;est ce pas une Photo CD.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve just received the Not-Photo CD. Her website is supposed to go live in two days. There&#8217;s obviously not enough time to redo it.
