process from Kodak whereby images from film are stored onto a CD

An optical disk which stores photographic images in a digital format. The images can be played back on a TV screen by means of a photo CD player, which also allows simple image manipulation.

A CD format and system devised by Eastman Kodak to record digitized photograph data.

A popular storage method for digital images. In the basic Kodak Photo CD configuration, five different levels of image quality are stored for each in an Image Pac.

Negatives and slides of 35mm film stock can be turned into PCD files, and transferred to PhotoCD, by photo finishers. Each file is usually greater than 4Mb in size and contains five versions of the image, covering five resolutions - 192 x 128 pixels;256x384, 512x768, 1024x1536 and 2048x3072.

A type of CD-ROM used for storing images. Images placed on a Photo CD are scanned on a special workstation, then encoded in a proprietary format using a COLOR MODEL called YCC, which is similar to Lab. The images on a Photo CD are compressed using a proprietary, lossy compression technique; when they are taken off the CD, they can be opened in any of several different color models (including RGB and CMYK) and at any of several different RESOLUTIONS.

A compact disc format developed by Kodak and Philips, based on the CD-I Bridge specification, used to store photographic images on a CD-ROM for display and printing. Up to 100 high resolution images can be stored on a Photo CD.

A compact disc format developed by Kodak and Philips, based on the CD-i Bridge specification, that allows photographic images to be recorded and viewed on a CD-ROM. Up to 100 high resolution images can be stored on a Photo CD.

a compact disc just like you buy at the music store, except that it contains photos instead of songs

Kodak's technology for storing images on CDs, in five resolutions, for printing, computer display, HDTV display, and thumbnails.

35mm film slides and negatives can be converted into .PCD (.Photo CD) files and stored on Photo CD's by photofinishers. Each image will take around 4mb of storage space and will be stored in 5 different resolutions: 192x128, 256x384, 512x768, 1024x1536 & 2048x3072 pixels.

A development from Kodak wherein photos or 35 mm slides can be scanned, digitized and recorded on a photo CD and then played back. Each disc contains 100 photos which also be printed on photographic paper by a special Kodak machine. Photo CDs that contain images that can be played by a Photo CD Player that connects to the TV or CD-ROM drive connected to a computer. In order to accommodate the different resolutions for playback or printing, the format contains the picture in five different resolutions. It is also used to store or archive photos.

A CD-ROM holding about 100 images, each scanned from slides or negatives at five different resolutions. The photographer can then choose the best resolution to achieve the size of a desired photo.

A compact disc format developed by Kodak that stores digitised 35 mm slides or negatives. A multi-session CD-ROM drive is required to read images that are added after the original set.

Kodak's proprietary process that places digitized files of photographs onto a CD-ROM disc. Photo CD facilities can digitize images from color slides and black and white or color negatives. A Photo CD transfer station converts your analog images into digital form by using a high-resolution film scanner, a computer, image processing software, a disc writer, and a color thermal printer. Each image is adjusted for color and density, compressed to 4.5MB using Kodak's Photo YCC format image, and written to a CD-ROM. A thermal printer creates an index sheet showing the images transferred to disc and is inserted into the cover of the CD's jewel case. A subset of this disc type is the Pro Photo CD Master Disc which accept images from 120 and 70mm rolls and from 4x5 sheet film. The Pro disc includes built-in copyright protection and offers a sixth, Base*64 resolution image that yields a size of 6144x4096 pixels.

The system developed by Kodak for storing the images obtained through a digital camera onto a compact disc.

A CD imaging system from Kodak that digitizes 35mm slides or negatives onto a CD-ROM disc. The Photo CD is created by photo finishers that have a Kodak Picture Imaging Workstation. It takes about a half hour to put 100 photos (the maximum per disc) onto the CD. Each photographic-quality image (2048x3072x24) compresses into six megabytes. A replica of each image in the form of contact prints is also included. Other formats include the Photo CD Portfolio, which holds up to 800 TV- quality images (512x768), the Pro Photo CD, which stores images from professional format film (120, 4x5, etc.), the Photo CD Catalog, which holds thousands of pictures and the Photo CD Medical disk for storing film-based images. There are a variety of software packages that access Photo CD images, and increasingly, paint, drawing and image enhancement programs are importing the Photo CD format (PCD file).

Proprietary Eastman Kodak method of storing photographs on CD described in the Beige Book, using elements of Yellow Book, Orange Book, and CD-ROM XA.

A proprietary file format created by Kodak. It employs an integrated system of scanning imagery through supplied hardware into Multiresolution Image Packs (MIP) and stores these MIP's onto a CD-Rom using a closely guarded, proprietary compression scheme. This allows the user to open images at different sizes and resolutions. There is a Pro version that yields reasonably high resolution images.

Photo CD is a proprietary CD-ROM format created by Kodak. The technology was introduced to provide a cost-effective way to get images from 35 millimetre photographic film to digitised files on a CD-ROM. The act of creating a Photo CD is a combination of photofinishing and CD authoring. It requires the use of a specialised hardware/software solution that is not part of the standard CD-ROM creation process. Despite what the name may suggest, a Photo CD is not simply any CD with photos on it. By the same token, the act of putting digitised photos onto a CD-ROM does not necessarily result in a Photo CD.

Kodak CD-based digital imaging format, where images are typically created from 35mm film negatives or slides; includes multiple resolutions of an image in an Image Pac, with all images 24 bpp encoded in Ycc format; portability includes Philips CD-Interactive and 3DO Players, as well as PC, Mac & Unix viewers; maximum colors = 16.7 million

A photographic compact disc (CD) made using a Kodak imaging system. The system scans in photographic images (negatives, slides, and prints), processes the data to optimize its quality for digital imaging, compresses the data, and then writes it on a compact disk.

A compact disc format based on the CD-ROM XA and Orange Book Hybrid Disc specifications, used to store photographic images for display and printing.

A CD which can store a large number of high quality images.

A process developed by Kodak and Philips, allowing the digital storage of conventional photographs and slides on a CD-ROM. As such, the digitized picture may be loaded into a computer and viewed or edited like other digital images.

A system developed by Kodak for storing images on a CD (Compact Disc).

A proprietary format developed by Eastman Kodak for storing photographic images on a compact disc. Images can be easily accessed for use in professional printing.

A development from Kodak. Photographs and/or 35mm slides, can be scanned, digitized and recorded on the PHOTO CD and then played back through CD ROM X/A, PHOTO CD Player, CD-I players or Photo CD compatible drives and displayed on a TV set or computer monitor. Each disc can contain 100 photos. The photos can also be printed out on regular photographic print paper by a special Kodak machine for high resolution prints. In order to accommodate the different resolutions available for playback or printing, the format contains the picture in 5 different resolutions. It is also used in professional markets to store or archive photographs.

a system developed by Kodak for recording images onto a compact disc. A system now widely used by photographic processing and printing businesses.

Kodak’s proprietary CD format for storing, displaying and printing photographic images.

Kodak's Photo CD for representing 24-bit 4:2:0 YCbCr images hierarchically at resolutions of up to 3072x2048 pixels. Thumbnails image representation is also part of the Photo CD spec. Built upon CD-ROM XA.

A Kodak process for scanning transparencies and storing them on CD in a format known as Photo CD. Acceptable results can be achieved from Photo-CDs, but the professional version is required to create large enough files. The maximum file size is about 70 megabytes, which limits high quality reproduction to about 700 square inches.

Photo CD is a system designed by Kodak for digitizing and storing photos in a CD. Launched in 1992, the discs were designed to hold nearly 100 high quality images, scanned prints and slides using special proprietary encoding. Photo CD discs are defined in the Beige Book and conform to the CD-ROM XA and CD-i Bridge specifications as well.
