Kodak Photo CD
The Kodak Photo CD system offers a powerful tool for viewing, storing and working with images that is fast becoming a computer industry standard. The Photo CD system builds a bridge from professional photography to the desktop computer. It combines the quality, convenience and low cost of conventional picture-taking with the benefits of digital technology -- the ability to display, enhance, store and transmit images electronically.

The Kodak Photo CD file format on Photo CD discs stores each image at multiple levels of resolution. Here is an information table based on a 35mm scanned image for your reference:
