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.

Digital Picture Exchange (.dpx)

The DPX (Digital Picture Exchange) 2.0 file format is a widely adopted standard for exchanging high-quality, resolution-independent, pixel-based images, primarily used in the film and post-production industries. Developed by the Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers (SMPTE), DPX files store individual frames of scanned film or digital images, supporting both color and grayscale data. Introduced in 1994 and updated to version 2.0, DPX facilitates the transfer of digital images for film recording and digital cinema projection, ensuring consistent image quality across different platforms and devices.
