Opening Photo CD files


You can open Kodak® Photo CDTM (PCD) files, including high-resolution files from Pro Photo CD discs.

Note: You cannot save files in PCD format from Photoshop Elements.

To open a Photo CD file:

1 Choose File > Open.

2 Select the PCD file you want to open, and click Open. If the file does not appear, select the option for showing all files from the Files of Type (Windows) or Show (Mac OS) menu.

3 Select options for the source image:
  • Pixel Size to specify the pixel dimensions of the image. Keep in mind that the on-screen size of the opened image depends on both the pixel size and resolution you choose. (See About image size and resolution.)
  • Profile to specify a device profile for color management. (See  Using color management.)

    • 4 Select options for the destination image:
  • Resolution to specify the resolution of the opened image.
  • Color Space to specify a color profile for the opened image. (See  Using color management.)
  • Landscape or Portrait to specify the orientation of the opened image.

    • 5 Click OK.
