Answer» Has anyone used the Wal-Mart CD for digital photo center? I like the finished photos from there (that’s about all I like at Wal-Mart) but don’t know about using their CD for their photo center on my PC. I don’t want to ADD their program and then find I have trouble with getting it off the PC if it isn’t worth having or if it causes some troubles. Any thoughts will be helpful and I thank you in advance. ;-) U2can...... What is contained on the cd , a photo editing program ? It is probably safe ....... what are your concerns about it ? dl65 Maybe I'm not understanding your question. I've gone to Walmart to get photos developed; I simply took the xD memory card out of my camera, took it into the store, and put it their digital photo kiosk which allowed me to select which photos to develop, and the size and number of PRINTS for each photo. No CD involved whatsoever. They can make a CD with all of those photos to take with you. I am not aware of any software involved. They are just JPG files.I know some photo developers do put photo editing software on a photo CD. When my neice got married about 2 1/2 years ago and got wedding photos on a CD, the CD had Picasa photo software on it. But, installing it is entirely optional. And, it is a nice photo program.Quote Has anyone used the Wal-Mart CD for digital photo center?

Sorry Wal-Mart has a CD disc that they give away to those who would like to do their photo editing at “home” and then upload the files to the INTERNET and sent them to the specific store for printing; after the printing they can then go and pickup the prints, making it one trip to Wal-Mart. The Wal-Mart photo center gives this cd away free hoping that you’ll use their service for printing. Not a bad deal overall. The cd has editing and ordering online programs via home pc to their stores. It also has an introductory guide to digital photography and a tutorial on using and caring for your digital camera, then they go on to say that the cd has “photo story 3 from Microsoft” and a “HP Yourbook 2005” (create a digital photo yearbook). I’m only interested in the editing and uploading of photos to their photo center for printing, but I know that there are times when you get “extras” that take up space and I’m not sure if I can remove these unwanted programs after they are setup on the pc? So far it sounds like no one else has used this cd for home pc editing and online ordering via internet to Wal-Mart? I’d like to know from those who have used it, if it is good or not and if they have had troubles with it? Are you absolutely sure you really need the CD in order to upload photos for developing? I just visited Wal-mart's WEBSITE and it looks to me like anyone can upload photos via Internet Explorer (and maybe other browsers). I did not follow through all the way but I did go to the screen where photos can be uploaded. Up to that point, there was no question about what store you want to pick up your photos, but I presume that question is dealt with before the end of the online procedure. To start the upload procedure, go to http://www.walmart.com/, click on Photo Center, and proceed. Of course, you need to create a userid and password if you don't already have one.Looks like you have the answer! ;-) I didn’t complete the process however I will give this a try later. It looks like there is no need to use a cd to add software on my pc – unless they download some of it at the time I login and actually have photos to upload for printing? Thanks soybean for the info.
