Pcd magic7/16/2023 I might change my mind on this in the future as my use of this feature was cursory. There is a function where you can edit an ex-PCD tiff file that is already in Lightroom by transfering it back to PCDMagic for some editing, but I found this integration to be a bit clumsy. I would not have been able to read my PhotoCDs without this program, so it proved invaluable. Then you can load the resultant tiffs into Lightroom. After selecting a place to put the tiffs on your hard drive’s file system, the conversion is then done reasonably quickly. The process requires you to load the PhotoCD files into PCMagic’s browser then select photos for conversion. I used this app to convert my collection of PhotoCDs to tiff format for use in Adobe Lightroom, as Lightroom does not have a direct conversion built into it. pcdMagic handles all Photo CD files at maximum resolution, even 4096 × 6144 "64Base" Photo CD Pro files and the rare "Class three compression" files that other conversion program can't convert. And of course, properly color managed, so you get exactly the right color rendition when you view converted files in other applications. pcdMagic converts to your choice of output format, even archival level DNG files.
