PCD files have distinct technical characteristics. As such, they always have a resolution of 3072x2048 or 6144x4096 pixels and 24-bit color scheme.
Even though the above-mentioned factors are considered to be advantages of PCD format, there are certain disadvantages as well. The major downside of this format is its compatibility with software.
