Gaila, You're welcome. You might consider scanning your most important pictures in Color (even the black and white photos) at 300 (or greater) ppi as TIffs and save them separately on the CD in a folder named RawScans. You'll have more of the picuture's data that way. Another sugestion, if I might offer: Name your computer files with "LastnameFirstnameDetails.filetype" always using Maiden names and details about resolution, subject matter, etc. This will have many benefits including sorting them logically in your computer, DVD player, etc. Randy C. Smart

Would suggest you date identify the photo also to help id it.
