A friend showed me several discs of Photo CD scans and I was not impressed at all. If you've got a lot of slides or film to scan, you'd be ahead of the game economically to get a good film scanner, and with a little practice and reading of some on-line tutorials, you'll be getting better results in short order.
I don't recall now, but can you get a 16-bit TIFF file from a Photo CD?
