In a German-language photography journal I saw a (nontechical) explanation
of the forthcoming Kodak Photo-CD. Are the specifications known yet?
The article mentioned coding pixels in YCC coordinates in stead of
YIQ or RGB. What is this? The article mentioned that YCC had its advantages
when the picture was compressed by a lossless method.
