Poor quality in what way?
What is the size of the image file, and what's the number of pixels?

Yes, there are two folders with images on the CD, one with full size, the other
with thumb nails.
Full size 1818 pixels x 1228 pixels average 450 KB
Thumb nail 200 pixels x 150 Pixels average 25 KB
It's the full sized ones I am talking about. The thumb nails are too pixelated.
I have sent one batch back, it's a bit better now, the 1st ones were real fuzzy
& vertically reversed!

Your FULL size ones are still not that great, Try asking the operator
if they can do better a resolution. It appears to be a medium setting
that they are using for the scans.
