Kodak PhotoCD

I have a photo cd from Kodak from 1996. How do I get these pictures into iPhoto. They are not jpg.
There are several resolutions of each picture, but nothing is available for using.

I have a non- jpeg Kodak CD, with different resolutions of each of my professional photos, made in a photo lab. When I loaded the CD (circa 1994) into my McBook Pro optical drive, running the latest Snow Leopard software (10.6.2), iPhoto immediately recognized the non-jpeg Kodak CD as pictures and imported each one into iPhoto at the best resolution (I have some large 5 MB or better files and it picked the biggest) . So you shouldn't have any problem if you're running the latest version of Snow Leopard and iPhoto on a late model Intel Mac.

  • Need Plug-in for PS CS3 Kodak PhotoCD

    I have tons of scans saved to Kodak CD's, which at the time I thought was a good archiving system... I upgraded, via download, to Photoshop CS3, so I didn't recieve the DVD... after an exhaustive search and an even more exhausting phone call with Adobe, I am asking if anyone has this... Adobe claims not to have it and the best way for me to find it is to post on the Forum to see if anyone can send it to me.
    Looking for:
    You can find the PhotoCD plug-in on the Photoshop CS3 DVD (Goodies/Optional Plug-Ins/Kodak PhotoCD. The ReadMe included in the DVD mentions where to copy the PhotoCD plug-ins and the color profiles.
    Appreciate the help!

    i basically have the same problem. electronically upgraded to CS3 and misplaced the kodak plug in. adobe has no solution - not sure  what to do next.

  • PSE 5: Bilder von Kodak PhotoCD öffnen

    Liebe PSE-Spezialisten,
    wollte vorgestern mal auf alte Fotos zurückgreifen, die ich auf einer der originalen Kodak Photo-CDs sichern ließ.
    Trotz genauen Vorgehens nach der Hilfe bekam ich eine Fehlermeldung, die in etwa lautete, dass der Dateityp nicht zulässig sei.
    An der CD kanns kaum liegen: irfanView war in der Lage, das Bild zu öffnen.
    Auch PS CS2 hier am Geschäftsrechner konnte die Dateien problemlos laden.
    Müssen einige Dateiformate separat installiert werden?
    Vielen Dank für eure Hinweise

    Hallo Jim,
    vielen Dank für deine Hinweise und den informativen Link. Würde gerne so gut englisch schreiben können wie Du deutsch. Dann wäre ich wohl zufrieden.
    Sieht also so aus, als ob Adobe ohne Überprüfung dein Hilfetext aus der Vers. 3 bzw. 4 kopiert hätte. Wird jetzt höchste Zeit für mich, meine 4 oder 5 Kodak Bild-CDs auf aktuelle Formate zu sichern.
    Zum Glück kann ich noch auf andere Programme zurück greifen.
    Vielen Dank und Grüße nach Kanada

  • Want to open Kodak Photo CD files (.PCD) in Photoshop CS5.  In CS4 i copied file "Photo CD.8BI"  from an older version into the File Format folder.  This does not work with CS5.  Any fix?

    I have several old Kodak Photo CD with PCD image files.  I am now using Photoshop CS5.  Some years ago while using Photoshop CS4 I copied a file:  "Photo CD.8BI" from an older, CS2, version to the Plug-ins/File Format folder of CS4.  This does not appear to work with CS5.  Any fix?

    It can be made to work, but you have to run the 32 bit version of Photoshop CS5, and as I recall there's an additional DLL called pcdlib32.dll that's needed from the old installation.

  • I have an old Kodak Photo CD and Photoshop Elements 11 on Windows 7. How can I open the .pcd images?

    I have an old Kodak Photo CD (1999) and Photoshop Elements 11 on Windows 7. How can I open the .pcd images?
    Please help me open these photos. They are very important to me and I need to access them.
    If I can't do it with any of the software installed on my computer, would someone be willing to open them, save them as jpgs and send them to me?
    Thank you so much, Nancy

    You can get the plugin here by downloading the Extra Content for Photoshop CS3  File 2
    Just be sure to follow Note:Very Important Instructions or the link won't work.
    http://prodesigntools.com/download-adobe-cs4-and-cs3-free-trials-here.html
    After downloading the PHSPCS3_Cont_WWE.exe, double click on it to extract the contents, probably to your desktop.
    Then in the Goodies folder, Optional Plugins folder, you'll see the Kodak PhotoCD folder
    Open that and copy the Photo CD.8BI to C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 11\Plug-Ins
    Copy the profiles to C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Color\Profiles

  • How can I delete PhotoCD.plugin from CS3/Intel Mac

    Hi -
    After using Photoshop CS3 for a few weeks I'm suddenly getting an error message about a plug-in not loading.  When I check it's the Kodak PhotoCD.plugin.  If I move the Kodak PhotoCD folder around - like to the Desktop or Trash - Photoshop finds it but doesn't load it.
    I read posts on this forum about how it's not compatible with Intel Macs and if I wanted to use it I could run PShop in Rosetta mode.  No thanks. No sweat.  I never used it and would rather just be free of the Photoshop error message than keep it around for the rare possibility that I will need it.
    Before I trash the Kodak PhotoCD folder and then empty the Trash, can someone tell me if that will make the Photoshop error go away?
    Will trashing it create any problems with Photoshop CS3?
    Thanks,
    jl

    I can't see how trashing the plugin would cause any problem. According to this TechNote (see link below) it wasn't originally installed with CS3 anyway.

  • Missing Codec for Premiere Elements 12

    Hi, I just bought Elements 12.  I installed it into my computer fine.  However when I tried to upload my video from an external hard drive it would not take it.  It said that a "codec" was missing.  My computer is new and the software is new.  Does anyone have any ideas?   It does not tell me  which codec is missing other than something is missing.  The video was transferred from a mini-dv onto the hard drive. 
    The whole reason why I bought Elements was to do some editing on this project.  If I can't do it, then this software is useless to me.
    Thanks,
    Deeadrian

    deeadrian,
    However, am I to understand that in order to do any capturing that I will need firewire?  When I read the booklet and information, I did not see any reference to firewire.  Or are you  referring to this particular instance?  If not and firewire is needed, then why are like 90+ percent of the computers being on the market do not have firewire anymore?
    A tape workflow is going by the wayside. It is a "legacy," and is being replaced rapidly with a tapeless workflow, often AVCHD. MiniDV tape, however good it is, is being phased out, and computer mfgrs. are turning their backs on it - including the FW connections.
    When I was in the process of ordering my "super" laptop replacement, I had to wait 4 mos., until Clevo (a major laptop MoBo mfgr.) put the IEEE-1394a chip BACK onto their top-end MoBo. I waited, as I still do a lot of miniDV tape Capture, and needed that connection. I knew what I needed, and was prepared to both wait for it, and then pay for it.
    Whenever someone is dealing with legacy technology, they have to make allowances for that. I still have two old computers set up, as they offer me connections, that I still need, decades later, like SCSI for my Nikon scanner, and some older technology. That is the price of technological advancement - one has to accommodate the old stuff.
    I have kept my old Photoshop CS2, because I have a ton of Kodak PhotoCD's, and there is no ability to read those files in the newest versions of Photoshop. Support for that format was dropped some years ago - but I can still access those discs, just on my older computers.
    Good luck,
    Hunt

  • Request for PhotoCD support

    Now that Kodak apparently isn't going to update the PCD acquire module for Intel Macs, I wanted to put in a request that the next rev of DNG convert the PhotoYCC image pack into DNG. I think this is possible after a conversation with Thomas awhile back. Even if I can only get to the high rez Base16 image pack, that would be better than having to run CS3 under Rosetta.
    It would be pretty slick to use Lightroom or CR as a new acquire module too.

    Actually one doesn't have to keep buying more and more software to view,
    edit and use the images we make. Once just needs to choose open standard
    formats. TIFF, JPG, DNG, etc. TIFF and JPG are easy just about every program
    that uses an image for whatever purpose will use them. DNG even if your
    camera doesn't shoot in DNG the DNG Converter from Adobe is free and is
    updated with every new release of ACR. So converting the propritary formats
    that camera companies like to use is not an issue and doesn't cost any
    money. Once that is done using DNG file is just as easy and nearly as an
    available option as TIFF and JPG.
    The problem the OP has is that he/she decided to trust Kodak and once again
    Kodak has shown their true colors and have proven that one can not only not
    trust them, but can't trust their product and formats. Stick to open formats
    and all is well.
    PhotoCD is dead and has been for at least 5 years. I see no reason of any
    kind for Adobe to waste valuable time and money or supporting a format that
    is dead. Instead the OP needs to stop complaining and convert his PhotoCD
    images to a format like TIF before he losses the ability to do so.

  • KODAK Pro PHOTO CD support

    I have been happily moving my photos into LR and I've been very pleased so far. I have gone through all my digital photos (from cameras). Today I went to start importing my photos from film. Most of my stuff was scanned many years ago to PhotoCD for Kodak. I discovered that LR will not read the files. Even iPhoto can import form PhotoCD.
    I know I can open them in PS and save them out as JPG then import them into LR, but with sixty some odd disks that would be a big pain in the a**.

    I should point out, in addition to the distinction between PhotoCD and Photo Disk, there was also a distinction between the "regular" PhotoCD (which perhaps yes, was a mediocre format) and the "pro" version of PhotoCD. The "Master" version, as has been pointed out, a very high-quality format (and still is), and was by far the best archival method at the time.
    That said, I agree with the others, it's time to move the files out of a format that's been orphaned even by the company that made it. A batch convert to TIFF, or some other format, is just a one-time conversion even if you have to go through multiple steps. Let's keep Lightroom simple and streamlined ;)
    Personally, I would archive to max quality (10+ in Photoshop) JPG; storage may be cheap these days, but beyond this it's just wasted IMO. The reason I archive and work with RAW/DNG or TIFF is so I don't lose data in 12+ bit sources; when you're dealing with an 8-bit source format, eg PhotoCD, you don't gain anything by up-converting to a higher bit depth and at those high settings the JPEG compression loss is unnoticable even for fine detail. Maybe burn a copy or two of the TIFF on a DVD just for the heck of it, then keep the JPG on online storage (eg, hard drive) and don't look back. But TIFF vs JPEG, that's your call, just get it out of PhotoCD...

  • Import of Kodak Photo CD-format

    How can I import files with extentions .pcd in Lightroom 1.1 from a Kodak Photo CD. In Photoshop CS3 (Windows XP), with the plugin "Photo CD.8BI", I have no problems to read such files.

    PhotoCD is a dead format. Shame really as it was pretty good. Kodak however,
    got greedy and wouldn't open it up and so it died. I would suggest you
    convert your PCD images to TIF. I doubt that Lightroom will ever support it.

  • Kodak Photo CD with Photoshop ?

    How do I open images from a Kodak Photo CD with Photoshop ?

    You can't with the current version of Photoshop -- Kodak stopped supporting their PhotoCD code many years ago, and Photoshop relied on Kodak's code for PhotoCD support, so Photoshop had to drop PhotoCD support.
    I believe Photoshop CS3 was the last version to include PhotoCD support.

  • I'm not really a computer guy.Just got a Kodak easy share camera. When I  import the photos, they go to the area with my name in a file with the date. How can I move them to iphoto, or even better, import them directly to iphoto??

    I'm not really a computer guy. I just got a Kodak"easy share" camera. When I import the photos they go to the section with my name in a folder. How do I get them from there to iphoto, or better yet, how can i import them directly to iphoto?? As stated, I'm not knowledgable,have an imac and need real rudimentary direction.

    in the iPhoto preferences be sure the action when camera is connected is open iPhoto
    What program are you using to import the photos?
    If they are in a folder you can drag that folder onto the iPhoto icon in the dock to import - our launch iPhoto and under the file menu import from that folder
    For real rudimentary directions try the iPhoto tutorials - and it would be a worthwhile investment of time to take the iphoto tutorials - http://www.apple.com/findouthow/photos/ - they are very helpful and will save you a lot of time and frustration. for the concepts - actual commands mya have shanged in some cases - and under the iPhoto help menu ==> iPhoto help - watch the videos there

  • Kodak 6150 printer connection problem with iMac 10.64

    I finally got tired of the HP printer eating me alive with ink costs. I purchased a Kodak 6150 printer. Surprised to find out I had to install drivers but that is done.
    Here is the problem. If I connect the printer directly via USB to the iMac it works fine. If I connect it to my airport extreme I can print from my Macbook but NOT from the iMac.
    Was running a trial version of Intego just to see if possible virus was reason for almost incessent presence of the rainbow wheel - no virus. I turned off the Intego and still no luck being able to print from the iMac.
    Per the previous question I did double check and sharing for all is on. The little screen on the printer says it is connected to my network. The printer is about 2 feet from the iMac and the airport is halfway between them so no walls etc in the way.
    Any idea's?
    Thanks

    1. When printers are setup they JOIN a network, and they remember the network name and wireless password. Since that has been changed, you have to REJOIN the printer to your new network of your AirPort Express. Basically, the printer has to be reconfigured. You can always contact your printer manufacturer for assistance.
    2. Navigate to the , then System Preferences, then Network. Click on the Advanced button on the bottom right, you should see a box with Preferred Networks. Remove the unwanted networks (such as your neighbors network).

  • New HH3 - Issues with Kodak Printer and iPhone 3GS

    Hello,
    Here is the background:
    Previously had a D-Link DSL-G624M router and everything connected wirelessly. This included 2 laptops, Kodak ESP 5250 Printer and iPhone 3GS. Router broadcasting on channel 6 (locked).
    Since upgrading to Infinity replaced the D-Link with a HH3. Laptops connect fine but have issues with other wireless devices.
    iPhone: Seems to lose internet (not necessarily wireless connection though) intermittently. The phone remains connected to the HH3 and can be seen in the DHCP table and Home Network screens. The iPhone also reports that it is connected to the HH3. However, when attempting to access the internet using either Safari or apps it doesn't work. This can be fixed by forgetting the network and re-joining or turning Airplane Mode on and then off.
    Kodak ESP5250 Printer: This connects fine to the HH3 and remains in the DHCP table and Home Network with the correct IP Address. Laptop A is able to connect and print successfully. However, after putting the laptop into sleep mode and re-waking it it is unable to Print. The Printer is still connected to the HH3 and laptop claims it is 'Ready' but unable to print. The only way i have found to fix this is to re-install the entire Printer software!! However, Laptop B does not have this problem and can be put into Sleep mode, Hibernate or restart and the printer remain connected. I do not think it is a firewall issue as able to connect until re-waking from sleep.
    You're probably thinking the same as me that this sounds like hardware issues and not the HH3. Maybe coincidence that it started happening after changing to HH3. Maybe something wrong with the iPhone or Laptop A and/or Printer?!? Tried setting a manual channel on the HH3 as suggested by other posts but this had no effect. (Used inSSIDer to determine best channel). Also increased the IP Address lease time from 1 Day to 21 Days - but again no difference.
    Current situation: Connected the D-Link router to the HH3 using Ethernet cable. Disabled DHCP and DNS on the D-Link router and kept SSID different. Now connected all devices to the D-Link router and nothing to the HH3 and everything is working as it did previously. The iPhone remains stable and the Kodak printer remains connected to both Laptops after re-waking from Sleep Mode.
    I haven't yet contacted BT but i'm leaning towards it being a dodgy HH3. Anyone have any suggestions??
    Thanks,
    Martyn...

    For starters, there's nothing wrong with your Iphone or Kodak prn. The issue is the HH3
    I had a very similar issue connecting iMac, iPad, Macbook Pro, iPhone, Thinkpad and Canon prn via wireless to the HH3... Lots of disconnections, devices that couldn't log in, very low wireless speeds, printer not recognized, etc,etc
    I went mad, pretty much did the same things as you did: inSSIDer, changing channels, re-installing whole softw drv !, reorientating HH3 position, manually assigning IPs and channels... nothing would seem to work!
    Then I connected a Netgear router to HH3 via ethernet cable -like you did- and suddenly everything seemed to go back to normal. Here's what I found out after much head knocking:
    1) The issue is the HH3, not that it's faulty but simply put it can't deal with lots of wireless traffic. The minute you connect several devices it gets clogged up
    2) HH3 seem not to recognize WiFI printers that have a 'static' IP (not sure why)...  this was a nightmare
    3) if you have many devices connected, HH3 doesn't  seem to 'like' Apple devices or wifi Airport powered (not sure why). After sleep mode these device can't pick up IP over the air, and you need to manually renew DHCP leases. There are several reports about this in Apple forums.
    So here's what I did:
    1) I ditched the HH3
    2) I connected the Openreach router to a dual-band Netgear wndr3400 **cable** router (PPPoE connection)
    3) I re-installed the prn drv in USB mode and then added wifi printer in wifi mode while usb connected
    4) I created two-split WIFI networks; one in the channel 6/2.4Ghz frequency and another in the channels 44-48/5Ghz freq to which I assigned most devices (It seems BT Infinity wifi works best in 5Ghz channels)
    Results: all devices recognised & connected via WiFI, no disconnections, steady WIFI speed almost as fast as ethernet cable, wifi prn prints fine from all devices... No more WIFI connnectivity issues.
    I hope this helps, good luck
    (note: my current issue is that my profile dropped from 34/8 to 21/2 during testing phase)
