To clear some doubtness about the Kodak-PCD-format (PhotoCD) here is a short information:
Introduced in the beginning of the 90's it is a multisession WORM-disc (write once, read many) and can hold about 100 images in 5 different resolutions in a compressed format.

[ background when running Windows. It was about 5 meg before
[ I converted it to a .BMP (Windows isn't very smart). Its
[ a scene from Yosemite. For those of you with Web Browsers:
