No, I'm not. The CD itself is generic. Right now it won't appear on my desktop, so all I have is the jpegs from when I first uploaded them to a folder on my HD. Asking for "get info" on the image icon, it says: type = .JPEG and the creator is "ogle" which is Picture Viewer. So, I cannot answer you. Do all Photo CDs come on a CD that has a Kodak label?
