The PCDS file extension stands for Photo CD Multi-resolution Bitmap Graphics, a format developed by Kodak in 1991 for digitizing and storing high-quality images on CDs. PCDS files were used to store scanned prints and slides, leveraging proprietary encoding to maintain image quality. This format was part of Kodak's Photo CD system, which aimed to provide a reliable method for archiving and accessing digital photographs.
JP2 stands for JPEG 2000, developed by the Joint Photographic Experts Group. It's a file format designed for high-quality image compression, supporting both lossy and lossless compression. Introduced in the year 2000, JP2 offers superior image quality and efficient storage over the standard JPEG format, making it suitable for medical imaging, digital cinema, and archives requiring high-fidelity imagery. Its advanced features include better handling of color, metadata, and progressive decoding, ensuring it remains a vital tool in professional and technical applications.
