? about those pix they take in the parks

[Lorene3]

Regarding those pictures that they take of you when you're in the parks (the ones you have to pay for and pick up when you're leaving) - has anyone had any trouble copying those at the Kodak Print Center kiosk? I tried to copy ours at Walgreen's tonight, and they refused to let me saying it was a copyrighted picture by a professional photographer. But, nowhere on the back of the picture does it say that it is copyrighted - and those weren't professionals, they were just Disney employees!!
Has anyone else encountered this problem?

Thanks!

Didn't even think about them being copywrited?! I made copies of a picture I had taken of my family at AK and gave them to my parents for Christmas. I copied them at one of the self serve photo kiosks. Would have bought copies while at WDW but didn't decide to give them as a gift until 4 months after our vacation.

We ran into this at Wal-Mart with pictures that we had taken at DD with Mickey a few years ago. But those were taken in a studio type setting so, that I could understand. Are you talking about the ones they take as you walt into the park(s)?

Ask a friend or relative with a decent scanner and color printer (with photo quality) to scan and print them (on photo paper - I use Epson or Kodak) for you. That's what we do. I even do that when I have my DD's pictures take at Sears. Most people can't tell the difference. It saves a bundle of money. One hint though. The bigger the picture the better the quality. It's better to scan an 8 x 10, because that's the largest you can print. If you scan a smaller picture (5 x7 or smaller) and print a larger size, it will "bleed." The pictures usually come grainy and fairly light.

You can also try some other places. Those picture maker machines are showing up everywhere!
