Can anyone tell me the best way to take old photos and put them on a cd. I don't have a scanner. Can photo places do that? Like Walgreens?

Yes, there are places that will do that for you. I'm not sure about Walgreens, they may have done this in the past. Another way to do it, though, is to take a digital camera and use the macro lens feature to take a close-up photo of the photo. From there you can upload the photo from your camera to your computer, crop and edit the photos with one of the countless picture programs available (MS Paint, AC/DC, Adobe Photoshop) before saving the photos to a CD.

When I worked in a photo lab (Walmart) we charged $2.82 per cd, we would only put 100 pics on a cd, but they can fit a lot more! We used 35 and 110 negatives, scanned pictures, slides, and even combined multiple cd's-so you shouldn't have a problem with the prints. Maybe you can work something out with your local photo lab, but it's not that expensive, at least I know it wasn't through Walmart

Have them put on DVDs instead of CDs whether you buy a scanner or not. I recommend a scanner.
I have an HP Scanjet 3970 that scans pics, negs, and transparencies for less than $100. and it is great resolution

Scanners are cheaper than scanning them all at Walgreens, if your strapped for cash, and would like something other than a "unitasker" you can also buy an all-in-one system, scanner, printer, copier for around a hundred dollars, though the resolution won't be as good as most scanners, it is decent enough to work from.

You can scan them or have them scanned at a place like Walgreens. Be aware of copywrite restrictions however. If a photo store suspects that the picture may be from a professional photographer, including school pictures, they will not copy it without permission. Professional photos usually have the studio or photographers name printed on the back.

A photo lab can do this but you're better off, in the long run, by buying a scanner and doing it yourself. It will pay for itself very quickly.

If you put the images in a standard JPEG format on the root (or even in separated directories) of a CD they can take the disc to any self-developing Kiosk and thumb through the directories and folders for printing.
