1. A method for obtaining specialized photofinishing goods and/or services produced from a one-time-use camera, comprising the steps of:a) providing a label on the one-time-use camera, with at least one area containing first instructional information that identifies particular photofinishing goods and/or services to be used with images captured by the one-time-use camera; b) capturing a first instructional information from the label; c) displaying a second instructional information according to the first instructional information; and d) recording a second instructional information onto a film residing in the one-time-use camera and resulting in a latent image, said second instructional information for use by a photofinisher for producing the specialized photofinishing goods and/or services from latent images on the film. 2. The method claimed in claim 1, wherein the first instructional information and the second instructional information are the same.3. The method claimed in claim 1, wherein the first instructional information is machine readable code.4. The method claimed in claim 1, wherein the first instructional information is human readable code.5. The method claimed in claim 1, wherein the second instructional information is a data frame on the film.6. The method claimed in claim 1 wherein the step of displaying the second instructional information includes an ancillary optical means for focusing the one-time-use camera onto a display device.7. The method claimed in claim 1 wherein the step of capturing a first instructional information includes employing a label reader selected from the group consisting of a document scanner, a machine code reader, and an optical character recognition (OCR) equipped scanner.8. The method claimed in claim 1 wherein the means for displaying the second instructional information includes employing an electronic camera or barcode reader for transferring an image of the label to a processor, whereby the processor deciphers the first instructional information on the label.9. The method claimed in claim 8 wherein a display device displays the image of the label, provided by the processor, for capture by the one-time-use camera.10. The method claimed in claim 1, wherein the step of recording the second instructional information further includes:c1) capturing the second instructional information from the display device. 11. The method claimed in claim 1, wherein the label is used for communicating the specialized photofinishing goods and/or services to a user and/or a photofinishing system.12. The method claimed in claim 1, wherein the first instructional information on the label is a designated URL web site for image storage.13. The method claimed in claim 1, wherein the specialized photofinishing goods and/or services are selected from the group consisting of image-wise treatments including black and white photos, underwater correction, enhanced color, muted color, rotoscoping, cartooning, sepia coloration, and/or ancillary image products including disc storage, URL storage, e-mailing images, photo books, sticker prints, bigger prints, smaller prints, and calendars.14. A photofinishing system, comprising:a) a means for labeling a one-time-use camera with a first instructional information that identifies particular photofinishing goods and/or services to be applied to images captured by the one-time-use camera; b) a means for capturing the first instructional information from a label; c) means for displaying a second instructional information based on the first instructional information; and d) means for capturing the second instructional information onto a film residing in the one-time-use camera and resulting in a latent image, the second instructional information for use by a photofinisher to produce the particular photofinishing goods and/or services from user captured latent images on the film. 15. The photofinishing system claimed in claim 14, wherein the first instructional information is machine readable code.16. The photofinishing system claimed in claim 14, wherein the first instructional information is human readable code.17. The photofinishing system claimed in claim 14, wherein the second instructional information is a data frame on the film.18. The photofinishing system claimed in claim 14, wherein the first instructional information and the second instructional information are the same.19. The photofinishing system claimed in claim 14, wherein the second instructional information provides an ID that is used to identify a particular photofinishing instruction stored in a memory database and is used to produce an image to be exposed on the film.20. The photofinishing system according to claim 14, wherein a developed latent image is used by the photofinisher to determine what photofinishing good and/or service is associated with at least one of captured latent images.21. The photofinishing system claimed in claim 14, wherein the means for displaying the second instructional information include a computer generated display device.22. The photofinishing system claimed in claim 14, wherein a close up diopter is used for imaging the second instructional information onto the film.23. The photofinishing system claimed in claim 14, wherein the second instructional information communicates how captured film images are to be manipulated.24. The photofinishing system claimed in claim 14, wherein the second instructional information provides instructions to the photofinisher on how to manipulate the images obtained from the film.25. A method for obtaining photofinishing goods and/or services, comprising the steps of:a) capturing an image of a billboard associated with photofinishing goods and/or services; b) forwarding the captured image of the billboard to a photofinisher; and c) obtaining at least one photofinishing goods and/or services according to information associated with the billboard. 26.
