Mike,
I ran into this issue when our local Wal-Mart quit doing in-store scans.
Their CDs had contained great scans, at least for web images. The only one
left here is Walgreen, and their scans produce much smaller images. I have
only had one roll processed there, but hoped to do a few more before long.
