"What's another word for Thesaurus?

Hi Anton, Here are a few that might be of help (I found them by searching for "foto digital" in www.paginas-amarillas.esASA Digital (says they put digital photos on CD) http://www.asadigital.com c/ Infanta Mercedes, 33 28020 MADRID Tel.: 91 571 92 67 Fax.:91 571 92 67 asadigital@asadigital.com Photo Store (didn't see anything about copying to CD, but contact them to be sure) C/ Gran V�a, 84 (Tienda Konica. Plaza de Espa�a) 28013 - MADRID Tlf. 915 428 403 lukatevel@ctv.es We visited Spain in March. I didn't need to have digital photos copied to CD until I reached Barcelona (halfway through the trip), when I used Casanova Foto near Plaza Catalunya. As an alternative and possible last resort...if you have a card reader for your type of card, (especially if it's the kind that doesn't need drivers added to a system like Windows 2000, ME, or XP), I'll bet you can find someone who will burn your photos to CD, especially if you supply the blank CD(s) and treat them to a few ca�as. At the end of our trip, a "friend of a friend" copied the second half of our trip's pictures to CD for us. Good luck!

Joy, that's what I did in Barcelona and went to Casanova Foto. (We were only in Madrid at the beginning of the trip, so I didn't need that service there. Looks like the ASA Digital people (in my first message) will do it. They are located a few blocks from the Estrecho metro stop.

Good information, Eduardo! Once the pictures are on CD, almost any print shop will print them out.

Hey Anton (and all). BREAKING NEWS!!! BREAKING NEWS!!! BREAKING NEWS!!! I was by the Plaza de Espa�a today and I went into the... quote: KONIKA Photo Store
C/. Gran V�a, 84
METRO: Plaza de Espa�a
28013 - MADRID

... mentioned by Paul above and I CAN CONFIRM that they DO transfer pics from memory cards to CD. Cost depends on the amount of pics and memory they take up but the lady there told me it was between 5 and 12 Euros depending. I also was at "fnac" on Calle Preciados just off Plaza del Callao today and they do it for 6.95 Euros. The "fnac" seems like a better deal. Both places said you could have it back the same day (no need to leave the memory card overnight)  VERY INTERESTING!!! At the "fnac" dept. store, right down a mini staircase near the photo developing dept., they have put in a do-it-yourself machine called "e-box"   It also costs 6.95� to transfer the pics from your memory card to CD. The machine has a slot for the memory card (with an adapter since not all cards are alike) and a CDrom slot. With the machine you can also visualizae the pics on the TV screen and select which pics you want to transfer to CD Hope this helps!!! Saludos, jer...

This info is amazing--thanks, guys!  I was actually contemplating the idea of MAILING home my memory cards to the US because I couldn't think of any way to upload photos onto a computer in Madrid without the software....  Along the same lines, does anyone know if computers in Madrid's internet cafes have CD-roms and/or photo editing programs of any sort? Once I get my photos burned onto a CD, can I use those computers to upload the pictures onto the internet? Thanks!

Forgot to say...I saw a machine in Barajas airport(Terminal 1, departures)last week that prints photos from digital media. 1� for the first three! 0.30� cada una! 0.50� to view (or print, view I think!) an index of all the photos on the disk/cd/card Takes all kinds of memory cards/cd's etc. minimum res 400*400 Oh yeah, think you can resize them as well!

Hi digital photo people. Ana, in answer to your 'edit & upload' query, I'm pretty sure that both WorkCenter (near San Bernardo and elsewhere) and ONO (Fuencarral and ?) have desktop image editing programs available - both offer cards which you 'charge' with time and then log in- and you can burn to CD or upload your finished work. For anyone who wants to take a LOT (I mean a LOT ) of digital pictures and not do much with them (other than store them) till they get home, or at least to a PC, there are some products out there designed for this. The best one I've found is called an ImageTank G2 (see a review at http://www.wetpixel.com/reviews/imgtankg2/ ) which reads CF cards. There are others which take any media like the Vosonic XSDrive 2 (see http://www.card-media.co.uk/xsdrive.htm but they're more expensive. Happy snapping. Adrian
