Most of the kiosk machines have pretty finicky tastes, possibly to
prevent viruses.  So, CD R only, no CD RW.  Do not put any executable
files on the CD, only image files.  Files sizes should be relatively
small say 5-10 MB max.

I stopped by my local Walgreens to try to make some 8x10s.  I'm trying
to
figure out what my options are for prints.  I either need a new printer
or
have prints made for me.  I was hoping I could use my corner Walgreens
to
make working prints and then spend bigger bucks to have a few special
prints
made elsewhere.

Anyway...  My first try was with pictures saved on a CD-R in tiff
format.
No go.  The guy said jpegs only.  So, I went back armed with jpegs.
Still
no go.  It wouldn't recognize that I had any images on the disc.  Worked
fine from other computers.  So I decided that was too much hassle.

So what I'm trying to say is before you load up 200 CDs to go over
there,
you might want to put a few images on disc and see if those will work
first.
