Minimum requirements:
 * AmigaOS 3.2 (or a system with picture.datatype V44+)
 * A CD-ROM drive
 * A PhotoCD capable CD filesystem (e.g. ODFileSystem from
   https://github.com/reinauer/ODFileSystem)

PhotoCD-DT adds Kodak PhotoCD support to the Amiga DataTypes system.
After installation, be sure to change the Default Application for PCD
to MultiView (or your DataTypes capable image viewer of choice). Then
you can just click on the pictures on a PhotoCD and they will open
automatically

The decoder used by photocd.datatype is derived from pcdtoppm from the
xpcd package. The datatype decodes the image to RGB and hands that data
straight to picture.datatype.

64Base (6144*4096) images are supported. As with the original format, the
decoder still needs the matching Photo CD companion files in the standard
`IPE/.../64BASE` directory layout; the `.PCD` file alone does not contain
the full 64Base image data.

This datatype is released under the GNU General Public License v2.
