9. PhotoCD
PhotoCDs are just normal multisession/XA CD-ROMs. The pictures are
stored in an special format that includes several resolutions.
Real, processed PhotoCDs are golden and have more than one session.
At your dealer you can get lots of pre-processed PhotoCDs, these
are single-session normal CDs and often include a viewer for
DOS/Windows sometimes for Mac and/or CD-I players.
To view those pictures on your Amiga you'll need a special program
and if you want a little comfort you will have to pay for it.
Also since the pictures are TrueColor 24Bit pictures you should
have a graphics board or at least an AGA-Amiga and in every case
lot of ram.
