I based what I said on misremembering what I read in
Computer Pictures (admittedly, not the greatest
source).  I've got the magazine here now and it does say
that a company is experimenting with making 20 x 20 inch
(square :-) ) posters from (presumably consumer) Photo
CD.  I'd like to see some of those.

They also mention "In such applications [ as slick
magazine covers and pages ], even Kodak officials have
conceded that Photo CD images will not be adequate
because of resolution loss."  I'm not going to make a call
like that 'til I've tried it, but some people (even at
Kodak) seem to believe it. 


I'm looking forward to Photo CD.  I don't know what impact
it'll have on the consumer market, but anything that
promotes the use of digital image technology is a Good
Thing in my book.
