As best I can tell, exiftool does not recognize PCD format. (Kodak Photo CD.)
I realize that this is an obsolete format, but it still would be nice to be able to extract metadata from such files, of which I have many hanging around from when I was taking pictures of dinosaurs roaming the earth.
I note that there is GPL C++ library that is able to extract this info, and based on my test of his windows executable, does so correctly. It's pcdtojpeg which is hosted on sourceforge here: http://pcdtojpeg.sourceforge.net/Home.html
Of course I know nothing else about this, like for example whether Kodak will sue you for decoding PCD without a license, or similar nonsense. However, would you consider adding PCD metadata decoding, and possibly copying into a different image format? (The latter is probably doable automatically as long as I want to define my own tags, I guess.)

Hi Peter,
Do you have any PCD sample images you could send me? (my mail is philharvey66 at gmail.com)
- Phil
Sure. They're about 4MB each, so I will send a couple in separate emails. (I don't think my isp will allow an 8MB email.)
--peter
Thanks, I got the samples.
I'll see what I can do about adding support for this format.
- Phil
Thanks!
--peter
There you go. ExifTool 8.92 with PCD read support is now available from the ExifTool home page.
- PHil
Great! Thanks!
