I have Kodak .pic photos but no Kodak CD. They were taken in the year 2000 and I'm trying to view them. Any ideas on how to find a decoder.?

    Are you talking about photos that were put on a CD from film scans done by Kodak? I'm not understanding what you mean by "I have Kodak. pic photos but no Kodak CD"? How can you have the photos if you don't have the CD?

    Perhaps you mean you have the photos on your computer with the file extension .pic, but you do not have the accompanying software that came with the original Kodak CD in which to view the photos? Is that the problem?

    Yes, Kodak did this crap for a while, and I think I have a couple of those old Kodak CDs from film scans somewhere. It seems to me, you can dig around on the CD and find the original JPEG photo files to save onto the computer so the Kodak software is not needed to see the photos, .... but I suppose that is not helping you now.

    If you do have the photos on your computer as .pic files, the only thing I know to tell you is to convert them to a JPEG file, if it can be done. Photoshop has the ability to convert one file type to another, but I cannot say for certain if it could do the Kodak .pic files or not.

    If you want to email me one or two of the photos you cannot view, I will be glad to see if I can run a file type conversion on them so they can be viewed as normal Jpegs. Other than that, I don't know where you can find the original Kodak software that was on those old CDs at the time.

    (All this is just another reason to always have real, honest to gosh PRINTS of any photos that are important to you)!
