Photo CD

is the file format used to save photographs on Kodak Photo CDs.

PhotoFlash can open Photo CD or Photo CD Pro files but can’t save files in
this format. For more information about this format, see “Opening a Photo
CD Image File” later in this chapter.

Photoshop

format is used by Adobe Photoshop. PhotoFlash can read data

from files saved with Adobe Photoshop 2.0 or 2.5, but can’t save files in this
format.

m Additional formats are supported by Photoshop-compatible plug-in

modules that you can obtain from other companies. Once installed,
these modules allow you to open, save, acquire, export, or apply
specialized enhancements to image files in a variety of formats from
within PhotoFlash. For more information about third-party plug-in
modules for PhotoFlash, see Appendix B.

For more information about the PICT, TIFF, EPS, JPEG, and DCS file
formats, see Chapter 6, “Converting and Compressing Files.”

Opening image files (non–Photo CD)

You can open one or more images that are part of a catalog at the same time
by selecting their thumbnails and then double-clicking one of the selected
thumbnails. For more information about working with thumbnails, see
Chapter 1, “Using Catalogs.”

You can also open any image file, whether it’s part of a catalog or not, by
using the Open command in the File menu. This section describes how to use
the Open command to open an image file in any format recognized by
PhotoFlash except for the Kodak Photo CD format. The next section
describes how to open Photo CD images.

To open an image file in any format other than Photo CD, follow these steps:
