Where Photographic Film Meets the Digital Media

Berkeley, CA--Everything seems to be going digital these days, and
photography has gotten on the bandwagon, thanks in large part to Photo CD
by Eastman Kodak. This breakthrough technology enables users to digitally
store and retrieve images and media files, bypassing altogether the very
costly digital cameras. The Official Photo CD Handbook: A Verbum
Interactive Guide offers up-to-date, inside coverage of Photo CD in a
book/CD combo that features an overview of all Kodak's Photo CD formats
and software, plus lots of demos and useful clips.

Some of the topics covered in the book include desktop darkroom basics and
how Photo CD products fit in; step-by-step information on accessing,
editing, and managing Photo CD images; a guide to desktop publishing with
Photo CD, including what hardware and software are needed; using Photo CD
for high-end pre-press work; and creating professional presentations,
interactive portfolios, and multimedia shows with Photo CD.

The two Macintosh/Windows CDs are filled with striking images from dozens
of well-known photographers, illustrators, and designers who show how to
put Photo CD to work. They also include state-of-the-art interface
designs; professional music, narration, and sound effects that showcase
the full power of Photo CD; dozens of software demos for leading image
programs; and 68 megabytes of usable images, backgrounds, and sounds that
can be popped into presentations.
