As someone else mentioned, yes, they can add to the CD's over and over 
up to one hundred images. You must have a multi-session CD drive 
however. If you don't you will only ever see the first set of images. 

I add to my CD's as new blank ones are around $10, and why buy a new 
one when you have room on the old one? That's like buying a new hard 
drive because you installed one program on it. =)

As to stereo pairs, you do not actually have these on the disks. You 
have to have the processor put the L and R images on the CD for you, 
then you use that as a base for image manipulation. You can make pairs, 
anaglyphs, etc... I have done all of that, and enjoy the fact that I 
have 18 Meg hires images to use if I want to have professional quality 
printed output, but that I also have low-res versions to use for things 
like my Web site. (I have been working on one for a while now... It's 
almost ready... Will give you the URL soon... NOTE: It contains the 3D 
Book List in HTML with pictures!!!)

Scanners (barring professional [$$$] scanners maybe) can't hold a 
candle to a well made Photo-CD. Try it... You will not be disappointed!
