I had thought of Ewens option but decided to burn each seperate "order" onto individual discs and take them to Boots. at least that way if the recipients want any more they will have the discs and can fend for themselves
Lo and behold, the first disc into the machine at boots gave me the filenames and placed the images sequentially, I wish I'd have gone there first, the colours were good and the service quick, my only grip was a small amount of cropping, the girl on the counter was extremely helpful in showing this old duffer how to load images from several discs and place them as one order.

Not an answer to your question but it might be easier next time!

Armed with my USB stick and a notepad with all the relevant filenames and quantities required I thought I had it sorted, I even telephoned first to make sure the machine accepted USB sticks. Five minutes after inserting the USB stick I was presented with a screen full of images MINUS the filenames, they weren't even displayed in numerical order, how on earth do they expect people to remember which files are which and how many of each with over a hundred images?
The guy behind tha counter wasn't much help either about as much use as a chocolate fireguard.
Has anyone else had similar experience with self service machines, are they all similar or is it just ASDA's that are naff? And can anyone recomend a high street lab who's machines do display a filename with the images.

Does this link prove that the K20D is the way to go for budding (and pro) wedding photographers? no more worries about blowing out the brides dress
All this talk of ducks on local ponds reminded me I took this shot in New England last year

Hecky thump! I'm ancient and I haven't learned owt. At least, I can't remember learning owt - but if I did, I must have forgot it!
Never mind, since I'm well on into my second childhood (or so the gaffer says) I might manage to learn summat the second time around!!!
