<p>I just got my wedding album from a wedding that was almost a year ago! What a load of cr0p! We knew that the pictures were bad from the proofs, but were hoping that the photographer would at least make an attempt on retouching / organizing the pictures. After all she asked for thee month to assemble the albums. It seems that pre-canned photo books from a Snapfish would have been a better option.<br>

Is there anything we can do now? Can we get some of the money back to give it to someone else for post-processing?<br>

To add insult to injury, the images were shot in jpg format with high compression.</p>

#1 is probably not true. Most OS's support fast format and I would assume that the camera only does 'fast format' when formatting the card. The fast format only resets an index and does not erase the actuall images. (It only marks space for the camera as available), and formatting it more then once gains nothing.

Perhaps the instructor is used to working with a particular camera which had issues with storage managment.

I just bought a 420 speed light. However, I can not figure out a

reliable way to switch between fill flash and full flash modes. The

flash is used with a Rebel 2000.
