PCD to PGM Conversion: FAQ
What are PCD files?
The PCD (Photo CD) image file format was originally developed by Kodak for storing photos on compact discs. The PCD extension is associated with photos scanned using Kodak equipment, including a 24-bit color format. Though the PCD format failed to become widely popular, it continues to be used by professional photographers because it provides high quality film scans. PCDs can ensure a high degree of accuracy in rendering image details in scanned film negatives and transparencies or diapositives.
What are PGM files?
The PGM or Portable Graymap format is part of a package of open source graphics programs called Netpbm. Other Netpbm formats include PPM (Portable Pixmap) and PBM (Portable Bitmap), also known under the collective name of PNM (Portable Anymap).
