What I don't understand, is how does this affect Kodak's support for
PhotoCD.

When they came out with FlashPix, their story was that FlashPix was for
consumers and that PhotoCD was for professionals.  Now they also have
PictureDisk (very low res) and Picture CD in addition to FlashPix and
PhotoCD.

Is Picture CD multi-resolution?  What is the maximum resolution?  Does
Picture CD support medium-format?  Will PhotoCD services still be available
from Kodak?

I'm confused again.
