I have to disagree in part. I ordered the Picture disk and was disappointed.
All the
pictures on the roll are saved on a 1.4M floppy disk with the application
software.
They are saved as a compressed jpg, with many details often washed out. Areas
of
similar color, like faces and the sides of cars, were brought together as one
color or
in lower resolution. The below pictures look ok, but both were cleaned up
using Adobe
photo deluxe. The picture of crater lake was filtered and is shown at the
largest size
possible. The picture of the engine needed about 30 minutes of contrast and
brightness
work to distinguish the block from the background. Several people pictures
look like
the people on the news with their identity hidden.
You can see a sample at my web page, http://home.earthlink.net/~bk13/brian.htm
or for an
item to the Triumph list at http://home.earthlink.net/~bk13/engstand.jpg
The second picture is how you get an engine on or off an engine stand without a
hoist.
It involves a jack for the car.
If you just have an occasional need, get a $90 scanner and scan regular photos
or go to
Kinko's and scan them there.
