■ Get your photos scanned at your local camera shop. For a small fee, you
can have an entire roll of pictures put on a CD-ROM disk. Be sure to ask
your camera shop to also put a CD-viewing application on the disk with

have been scanned
at a higher number
of dots per inch (dpi)
than your printer can
print. To get the best

won’t improve the print
quality, and the
pictures will take
longer to print.
