Don't worry, there is an Overview.PCD file in each guide on the Photo CD that allows you to easily preview all images before placing them. When you open this file, the preview box will present a thumbnail of six images at a time. You can use the buttons above to select to continue or play back the preview item. When you have decided on the desired image, click on this thumbnail and it will appear in the PageMaker Photo CD import Filter dialog box.

Select the correct Photo CD Description The Source description in the Kodak Photo CD import Filter dialog controls the transition from the Photo YCC (Color Space) of the Photo CD itself to the CIELAB space of the PageMaker Save Input image.

How to determine which one is correct? Click the Image Info button in the Import Filter dialog box. The first line in the dialog box that appears indicates the Medium of Original; if Color Negative appears, close the dialog and click on the Kodak Photo CD.
