ABSTRACT:
A method and arrangement for storing or generating images has a processor that receives digital information representing an image or scene, where the digital information includes at least two different image units of the image, each image unit containing different information regarding the image. The processor links the different image units of the image for storage in a database such that the different image units of the image are automatically accessed when the image is accessed. A storage device stores the different image units of the image in a database. An output device produces an output image from the different image units of the image stored in the database. The database is contained on a photographic CD, for example. The linkage of the different image units allows three-dimensional images to be generated, or other manipulations to be performed by a computer graphics processor.
