All images are in uncompressed TIFF format using the universal ISO 9660 standard for CD-ROM. This permits any CD-ROM disc in the World PhotoPhile(TM) Collection to be read by Macintosh or MS-DOS-compatible computers and many Unix platforms. It also means all these images are also importable by almost all image-handling applications available in those same computing environments.
The 24 CD's are divided into two editions. Edition 1 has the first half of the images (1,500 or so, countries Argentina through first half of Hong Kong) and edition 2 has the second half (second half of Hong Kong through United States). Each image is 32-bit, CMYK (ie. already color-separated), color-corrected, uncompressed TIFF, 300 dpi giving a 150 line screen.
The World PhotoPhile(TM) Collection is packaged in handsome protective CD wallets. The developer of the wallet states the liner of each pocket in the wallet is comprised of a patented material that lifts minute particles away from the CD each time it is placed into the pocket, thus providing a measure of added protection for each CD.
The Collection is also accompanied by six 40" x 28" full-color posters which have been further color-categorized so that individual images appear on the posters in the same order they appear on each color-coded CD - all to maximize easy reference.

This CD ROM features 25 license and royalty-free* photo images by photographer and graphic designer David Hushion. This collection was developed with the graphic designer/artist in mind. Graphic designers often need textures and backgrounds to add a particular characteristic or flavor to a graphic construction. However, it is often desirable to incorporate such backgrounds in a "soft" screen (eg. 10% of "solid" image). It often takes a fair amount of time to create such a balanced image.
This collection provides a series of different ghost images and watermarks that have been created and tested for high-quality 32-bit CMYK output at an actual size of 8.5" x 11". This requires a file size of about 22 MB per file.
These collections are available as single CD's of non-compressed TIFF images, with both low- and high-resolution versions on the same disc.
Each features over 50 license and royalty-free photographs from the U.S.'s National Aeronautical Space Agency's vast archives. Almost all of these hand-picked photographs are in color.
These two collections represent a cross-section of NASA's various historic enterprises.
Included are spectacular shots of the 1969 moon landing, various spacecrafts, satellite launchings from the Space Shuttle, incredible full and partial shots of various planets in the solar system, space walks, and various space equipment. Included also are more than 10 photographs of the asteroid collisions on Jupiter on July 16th, 1994.
Each image is annotated with a very detailed description, written by members of NASA or its archival agency.
These collections are available as single CD's of non-compressed TIFF images, with both low- and high-resolution versions on the same disc.
A collection of over 50 license and royalty-free* photo images by Candace Perterkin. This collection
features photographs of the geological minerals as viewed through a powerful electron microscope. The incredible profusion of color and abstract patterns presents an infinite variety of backgrounds.
Some images are akin to color-enhanced satellite photographs of the earth while others suggest more magical or metphysical properties. The crystaline structure of still other images are indescribable and must be seen to be appreciated.
This collection is available as a single CD of non-compressed TIFF images, with both low- and high-resolution versions on the same disc.
