Convert Photo CD's to TIFF CD's

Kodak Photo CD's use a proprietary file format (PCD) which a lot of imaging software doesn't recognize. We'll convert these PCD files to the industry standard TIFF file format and return them on a CD or DVD.

Tagged-Image File Format (TIFF) is used to exchange files between applications and computer platforms. TIFF is a flexible bitmap image format supported by virtually all paint, image-editing, and page-layout applications, which is why it is the industry standard.

Your TIFF files contain all of the image data contained on the Photo CD using the Photo CD's highest resolution image. These TIFF files are not compressed and nothing is discarded, meaning you have access to all of the original image data for retouching, resizing, and making photo quality prints. Because of its widespread use and acceptance across all applications and computer platforms, TIFF is an excellent format for image preservation or archiving.

For your convenience, we also create JPEG files from the TIFF digital masters. Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG) format is commonly used to display photographs and other continuous-tone images on a computer monitor and over the Web. JPEG is supported by virtually all paint and image-editing applications. Because of its much smaller file size, it is an excellent format for viewing images on a computer monitor or TV, emailing to family and friends, and Web use.

Your JPEG files are created at the highest quality setting, meaning we don't compress the file to the maximum. We opt for a somewhat larger file size to produce an image that more closely resembles that of the original uncompressed TIFF file.

The price is $10.00 per Photo CD plus shipping. Please call to place an order.
