	Kodak Photo CD (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		PhotoCD is a cross-platform format, and film sizes from APS to 5x4" may be scanned in a variety of resolutions from 128 x 192 pixels (Base/16) to 2048 x 3072 (16 Base).
		PhotoCD remains a viable and cheap means of digitising slides for non-critical use.
		As a follow up to this Bill Wood tells me that PhotoCD scanning stations have evolved some since their introduction, and that later models are capable of better results and do not produce as much flare.

		Kodak PhotoCD allows digital data generated by scanning 35-mm film to be encoded and stored on a compact disc.
		To display or further process the images, you normally convert the images to an RGB color space, such as "rgb709," by calling xil_color_convert.3 or xil_color_correct.3 Grayscale or "Black and White" versions of the images may be obtained by converting to "y709" or "ylinear."
		Because PhotoCD is a read-only device, the device image created by this device handler is read-only (see xil_is_readable.3 and xil_is_writable.3 Trying to use the device image as a destination will generate an error.

		Therefore, any PhotoCD's you produce can be used on a variety of computer systems as well as on stand-alone players.
		PhotoCD's are multi-platform and are therefore not limited to the small Amiga user base.
		Unlike creating a PhotoCD which merely requires a consumer to walk into a store and ask for it to be done, making a Portfolio is complex and time consuming.

		The dynamic range for a PhotoCD scan, an important measure of image quality, is 2.8, while that of a pro scan is 3.2.
		Since the dynamic range of the PhotoCD Master disc closely matched that of color negative film, I started shooting more images on Agfa, Fuji and Kodak color negative stock for projects I knew would ultimately be delivered in a digital form.
		PhotoCD had been doing well in a state of benign neglect from Kodak, when someone in Rochester had the idea of creating Picture Disk and Picture CD.

	Scanner Comparison - PhotoCD v Sprintscan
		I don't really know, but part of the answer may be that because of the lower resolution of the PhotoCD scan, it is effectively undersampling the grain pattern, hence it does not show up so much.
		On the basis of these observations I believe that PhotoCD offers a high level of quality that may even be higher than the Sprintscan for critical work.
		For all practical purposes the output of the Sprintscan is of very high quality and the image noise does not become apparent unless fairly aggressive enhancement is needed of a single underexposed (astronomical) negative.

		PhotoCD's can be made from either transparency or negative films, in color and fl & white.
		The quality of the scans can be excellent (depending on the technician who can modify the scan from preset transforms) for all but mural work.
		Duplicate discs can be made from either film or other PhotoCD discs allowing edited collections of images to be produced.

		Scans are made from original negatives or slides in dust-controlled environments inside photo labs.
		PhotoCD Image Pacs are always produced in a calibrated color space, thus preserving your investment in an image library against the day when the Web standards finally enable a publisher to specify a gamma along with an image.

		As a result, images from wide dynamic range scenes may be reproduced with washed out or clipped highlights." If you get the test image mentioned in PCD-102, you'll see that Photoshop does indeed pull in all the luminance data, although the highlights are quite compressed.
		PhotoCD uses chroma subsampling like JPEG, but it doesn't use DCTs, so the results are better than JPEG.

	PhotoCD
		Kodak's PhotoCD system was originally developed for the consumer market, but it has received a lot of attention from desktop publishers, graphic artists and multimedia producers.
		The film is then developed, and the photo lab uses a Kodak digitizer to digitize the image and then store them on a writeable CDROM in a proprietary format.
		It was simply marvelous, and it's simply hard to believe that Kodak thought a lot of people would want to look at their photographs on television.

	Review -- Kodak Pro PhotoCD
		Several months ago I asked the Medium Format Digest whether anyone had had much experience with using Kodak's PhotoCD for medium and large format work (as opposed to the 35mm consumer version (called the "Master PhotoCD" for some reason), which I use and recommend for things like Web publishing).
		Some 48 hours and $200 later, I had a nice little Pro PhotoCD with ten images, which I then accessed and converted to RGB using Photoshop 3 (Photoshop comes with the appropriate Kodak CMS plugins for the conversion to RGB or CIELAB formats; unfortunately, of course, you can't save from Photoshop in PhotoCD format).
		In summary, the Pro PhotoCD did the job well, which was to provide a cheaper way (compared to drum scans) of getting medium and large format negs and transparencies scanned, and to form the basis for Web publishing and medium-quality publishing in other media.

		Kodak PhotoCD "Image Pac" files use a "PhotoYCC" color space designed for the storage of images acquired from film.
		For example, Apple provides a PhotoCD extension which displays the CD's as if containing RGB PICT files in separate folders for each resolution.
		Assuming the lower-resolution images could be adequately regenerated from the 3072x2048 size, DAKX transcoding averages about 20% smaller files.

		Jaguar has reported some vulnerabilities in libpcd, which potentially can be exploited by malicious people to execute arbitrary code on a user's system.
		The vulnerabilities are caused due to three boundary errors within the "pcd_open()" function during creation of certain error messages when attempting to decode a PhotoCD image.
		Successful exploitation requires that a user is tricked into opening a specially crafted PhotoCD image with a malicious filename.
