Had an annoying experience at a Walgreens photo center today. I uploaded a picture of my kids to the Walgreens website I took at home using a new background I bought. It was just using a single bounced flash (Canon 20D + 580EX + Stofen Omnibounce) as you can tell by the shadow on the background. I got to the store to pick up the 8x10 print and they said they cancelled the order because they are not allowed to print professional photos ! I tried convincing them that it's just at my home using a make shift studio but they wouldn't listen. They said some other stores like Walmart and Kinkos have been sued by studios for printing their photos.

They said if I proved to them that it's not a professional photo
they'll print it.
Here is the picture I was trying to print:
That would only "prove" the kids are his/hers, not that he/she is the photographer. I'd take the camera in with the file on the CF card. If that doesn't work, I'd then go to a different store - perhaps a true photography store that does prints.

The only question here is whether you own the right to print the photo. Professionally done or not is not the issue here, as you are allowed to print the photos you own. Many of my clients buy my digital original packages, and they are allowed to make prints as stated on their contracts.
Lomography's LomoChrome '92 is designed to mimic the look of classic drugstore film that used to fill family photo albums. As we discovered, to shoot with it is to embrace the unexpected, from strange color shifts to odd textures and oversized grain.
The LowePro PhotoSport Outdoor is a camera pack for photographers who also need a well-designed daypack for hiking and other outdoor use. If that sounds like you, the PhotoSport Outdoor may be a great choice, but as with any hybrid product, there are a few tradeoffs.

I think you should let Walgreens know they have a problem. Perhaps they
can read their "defective" CD and transfer the photos to a good one (or
to your thumb drive). If they can't read it, they may need to re-scan
your negatives.Fred

DVD players have a programable menu system. That's why when you
leave some DVD's at the main menu things change. They just included
a programable menu that displays the first photo, waits a few seconds
displays the second and so on.Try playing it on VLC using the play DVD with menus option.Most DVD players will play a CD as if it were a DVD if it has the
files in the same format as a DVD. UDF file system, a directory
called "VIDEO_TS" (uppercase only) and so on.....Geoff.--

The Walgreens response was we do not support Macintosh and the reason
the CD will not play on your Sony DVD player must be something wrong
with the Sony player. They don't really careI have the pictures on my Canon 2 GB SD card and now have all 356 photos
imported to iPhoto.

Nothing in the original post suggested to me that there was a digital
camera involved--but that's my mindset because, in the 21st century it
would never occur to me to take my digital photos to a store to get
them printed. Especially 356 of them. OP must be one hell of a good
photographer to take that many good photos on a vacation! Since I'm not
in the same league as OP, I select one or two photos (at most) from a
shoot and print them myself. More likely I print none. I post the
photos that I deem worthy at . My
wife likes to print one for the fridge door once in a while, but we
soon tire of looking at it and toss it in the trash.What does one do with 356 vacation photos, anyway? Favor the neighbors
with a showing? Make Grandma or the siblings look at them? Go over them
with the kids like flash cards to teach then to quickly name every
location? I don't care how good the photographer, if he brings 356
photos to show me, the second time I see him coming I'll lock the doors
and draw the shades!
