There are actually TWO DIFFERENT Kodak CD formats in common use today.

The Kodak PhotoCD is the older of the two, and uses the .PCD format
for the images. These actually stores multiple resolution copies of
the images, all the way up to 4096x????.

The Kodak PictureCD is the newer, and stores the pictures in .JPG format,
at 1536x1024 resolution (for 35mm film), with no compression.
