I'm impressed by all the enthusiasm and questions that are being brought up about KODAK's Photo CD. As a publisher of photographic images on compact disc DIGITAL ZONE Inc., has in the past year marketed 4 separate disks using JPEG compression technology but with the anticipated excitement and marketing efforts of a giant like KODAK we at DIGITAL ZONE are now publishing all of or new and past photographic images using the now and future established KODAK compression method YCC. We believe this is the wave of the future and will be an automatic choice for consumers and professionals. Our first KODAK Photo CD is a sampler album of Internationally acclaimed stock photographer Wolfgang Kaehler. We had 50 images scanned at KODALUX in Los Angles and using an Apple 300 CD player accessed the images with the KODAK accessing software everything worked perfectly and then using both COLORSTUDIO and PHOTOSHOP and KODAK's plug-in's Photo CD Acquire v6.0, Chrome Look 6.6 we were able to access the images from wallet size up to the poster size (2048 X 3072) with wonderful results. The Macintosh used was a CX with 20 megs of ram, a 50 Mhz excellarator and a 1.3 Gig drive. All our images were originally/chrome slides then all our images were placed into our new color brochure and output to separations. The images are to say the least beautiful. We used Ready Set Go 5.0 as the page layout program because of its abilities to create custom grids on the fly for quick design. If you'd like to see our New brochure of images scanned by KODAK drop us a line (e-mail) with your address. The first mailing is expected December 1st a must see for anyone interested in the quality of KODAK's Photo CD image quality published and a need for stock images.
