Kodak, in a statement, said it would not comment on why Ms. Raber left

the company in August because it was a personnel matter. Kodak said 
Ms. Raber's allegations about its photo service "are completely
false."


Throughout their 125+ year history, the Eastman Kodak Company (long
known lovingly as "Great Yellow Father") has been compressing its
customers' images.  Amateur film formats shrunk from good old 620 roll
film to 35mm to 126 cartridge to 110 cartridge, all the way down to the
final (God awful) "disc" cameras of the 80s.

It is what they do.  They take your images and make them worse.  They
will never change.

They should put a disclaimer on their site, similar to the one they put
on color films for decades:  "Images may, over time, compress..."
