"The one drawback of the system is that it destroys the original film negative.
To counteract this, ASF calls the DigiPix CD a "digital negative." Each photo
is digitized into three files: 1,600-by-2,496, 1,268-by-1,978 and 512-by-768.
In other words, the top resolution is roughly equivalent to that of a 4-
megapixel digital camera file, while the lowest is Web- and e-mail-ready. The
CD automatically displays a thumbnail index when inserted into a computer and
includes a slide show utility."

even a blade of grass, it becomes a mysterious,
