I would like to know if someone does have any experience with Kodak Photo-CD in the newspaper environment. We are considering it for the begining of a digital project in house. The project involves the digitalization and archiving of about 100 images a day (the production of 30 photographes). Photo CD does seem ideal in what concerns speed and security. But we are not sure about quality. It also doesn't sound good to have to manipulate hundreds of CDs. Do you know of any reliable jukebox system. Another point is the image database. Kodak's 'Shoebox' doesn't seem to be powerful enough to handle the production of a daily newspaper for a period of at least 2 years. Also, its search capabilities seems to be very limited, aren't them? Is there a list specific on Photo CD ?RICARDO FUNARI PHOTO DEPARTMENT / O GLOBO NEWSPAPER RIO DE JANEIRO / BRAZIL FAX: + 55 - 21 - 556-2502 EMAIL: mailto:funari@ax.apc.org
