PCD to PPM 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 PPM files?
PPM or Portable Pixelmap files are image files included in Netpbm, an open source graphics program. The other widely used Netpbm formats are PGM (Portable Graymap) and PBM (Portable Bitmap). All three are image formats and are sometimes called collectively PNMs (Portable Anymap format). While PGMs contains grayscale images, PPMs include color images and they represent intermediary files used in the conversion of less known formats using the Portable Bitmap Utilities. PPM files are mostly operated on UNIX and Intel-based platforms.
