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.
