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.
The ART file extension, associated with PFS: 1st Publisher, stands for "AOLpress Raster Technology". Developed by America Online (AOL), this format was designed to optimize image download speeds over slow internet connections by employing high compression ratios. ART files store single, highly compressed images, allowing for incremental rendering similar to progressive JPEGs. While it was useful in the past, the ART format has largely been replaced by more modern image formats.
