| 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.... RJ ...

So maybe my setup is not up to the challenge, like the newer OSX and probably iPhoto '11. I did try seeing if one of the kid's MacMini's with a DVD drive could read the disk, with iPhoto '11 and 10.6.8, it could not read the files either. So, maybe it's something with the new version of OSX. >> >> I still have a G4 with OS9 I use from some archive projects with video in the Truevision RTX codec, and I'm pretty sure that setup would let Photoshop open these disks and even choose the resolution. >> >> Since I'd prefer to have an image database which is not tied to support for the Kodak codec, I am test driving the software I mentioned and batch converting an entire CD volume to .jpg format. The conversion process seems to be be just about as fast (using 4 of 8 processors) as I could copy the .pcd image files over to my source data HDD. >> >> Now I just have to work thru 2 libraries (400 cds). :) Not quite as convenient as running thru audio CDs in itunes, but it's not too bad. >> >> Thanks again for the responses. >> >> RJ >> ... >> >> >> >> On Mar 21, 2013, at 7:34 PM, patrick Siemer wrote: >> >>> Um, actually all you have to do is put the cd in your drive and let iphoto do it's magic. >>> I am watching it happen as I write this. >>> I am on OS X10.7.5 >>> Happy pictures. >>> >>> patrick siemer >>> tapeandglue.com >>> >>> On Mar 21, 2013, at 3:58 PM, email blanca wrote: >>> >>>> Does anyone have a OSX solution for reading the older Kodak Photo CD format CDs? >>>> >>>> I found a program Contenta Converter which I could use to convert all of the .pcd files, but wondered if there was an alternative? >>>> >>>> I have a vast Corel Stock Photo Library I want to convert. >>>> >>>> Thanks >>>> >>>> RJ >>>> ... >>>> >>>> +---End of message---+ >>>> To unsubscribe send any message to <ae-list-off@media-motion.tv> >>> >>> >>> +---End of message---+ >>> To unsubscribe send any message to <ae-list-off@media-motion.tv> >> >> >> >> +---End of message---+ >> To unsubscribe send any message to <ae-list-off@media-motion.tv> > > > +---End of message---+ > To unsubscribe send any message to <ae-list-off@media-motion.tv> |
