I read in a recent edition of a popular Photographic magazine that Kodak's
revolutionary new Photo CD system, which takes photographic images taken on a
standard camera and converts them into a digital format, is based around a
hyped-up computer workstation; in the photo accompanying the article was a man
working on an image with a Sun workstation (it looked like a Sparcstation).

Does anybody know what is the actual hardware configuration used, and what kind
of software is used in these machines? I was very surprised to read that a
machine such as this was used for such image processing, as to digitise a
photographic image, store the resulting data file, and then save onto Compact
Disc format not only requires a huge amount of backing storage space (assuming
you aim to reproduce the image quality obtainable by modern camera film), but 
also a very high-powered system to process this information. I would have
assumed that the task would have been carried-out on something on a much larger
scale!

Any details?


Thanks,



Darryl Humphrey.
