Quote: I had a couple of Photo CDs made many years ago. In fact, I think I still have them somewhere. Great quality pictures at massive resolutions, never managed anything as good myself.
I had one done many moons ago as well, but I can't agree with Andy on this one. My particular set came out really washed out and there were artifacts in many of them. I'll have to dig it out and upload a sample.
My £40 slim Canon 'LIDE' scanner (which I like a lot) could do far better quality-wise and produce lovely vibrant scans. I know its not a replacement for getting someone else to spend the time doing it.
Anyway, I think these PhotoCD services can vary, so make sure you get some samples done if you're thinking about doing a big batch.
