Hi Patrick...

Yes I did try. In each case, if I dragged the Corel Photo CD into the =
open iPhoto import screen, it chugged until I got a screen saying the =
image files were an unsupported format.  If I manually selected Import =
from the, when I navigated to the CD, all of the image files were grayed =
out.

Am I doing something wrong?  I say this because I did find some google =
searches which also suggested I should be able to read the CDs.

Maybe there is something about my 10.6.8 install, a missing piece which =
prevents me from loading the Kodak codec solution.  Hmmmm....

maybe my setup is not up to the challenge, like the newer OSX and =
