Kodak Lossless True Color Image Suite

Prior to this site, they were only available in the Sun Raster format via ftp.  This meant that the images could not be previewed before downloading.  Since their release, however, the lossless PNG format has been incorporated into all the major browsers.  Since PNG supports 24-bit lossless color (which GIF and JPEG do not), it is now possible to offer this browser-friendly access to the images.

Disclaimer: The imagery with which I began was not in PhotoCD format, but 24-bit Sun Raster. For a year this page had a link to the source ftp address at Rensellaer Polytechnic Institute. When Rensellaer stopped their ftp distribution, I removed the link. My conversion into PNG was lossless; the original conversion from PhotoCD was not, nor could it be. "Lossless" on this page is used in comparison to what a GIF or JPEG conversion would have done to the data.
