Ana, haven't seen that one (Pixar cd-rom), but I have seen something else that got me interested. I saw an advert in a recent magazine, but I can't find it (they may be by Kodak). They are multiple collections of photo-cd format photographs, 100 on each collection, subjects are things like: mountains, forests, deserts, etc. (lots of variety). They are $50 each and IF they are in _all_ the photo-cd resolutions (up to 3000×2000) they are a real bargain. I have some other collections which are cheaper but only come in 640×480, which is rather limiting for pre-press applications. (these are called "Wild Places, Majestic Places, World Views (NASA images) etc. and cost about $27 for 100 images). I really like these kind of collections because you can make still image compositions or montages with them (Altamira Composer makes this very easy, technically), use them as foreground or backgrounds in 3ds or as reflection maps. If I was really adventurous (I am) and had lots of time and money (I don't) I would travel the world with a Nikon and make my own collections <g>. I will try to find the adverts, because I think these collections sound great.
