IF YOU DO NOT HAVE A DIGITAL CAMERA OR A COMPUTER

The website www.gammatech.com (link:https://www.gammatech.com/html/convert.htm) will prepare your image -- crop it, size it, save it at 300dpi, burn it to a CD if you wish or email the jpeg image back to you for you to burn to a CD-- your choice.

Digital cameras are available for less than $100.00 – at least one is available for $79 on Amazon or Wal-Mart's websites. If you purchase a digital camera, some copying services will not only download your images to a CD but will also size them to your specifications. These services are found in your phonebook under Copying Services. Some camera shops also have this capability.
