PHOTO CD, will it go the way of the 8-track tape? Last
year (June '96) Kodak joined with Microsoft and
Hewlett-Packard to support the up and coming digital
technology, FlashPix, which does the same job as Photo CD,
and to some people's thinking, much better. FlashPix is an
open image file format that makes it easier for computer
users to handle images. Since Photo CD images can be
converted to the FlashPix format, Kodak Photo CD officials
have been assuring photographers that both products will
be available for the long run.
