It's supposedly a Compressed PhotoDefiner (?) lossless (.cpd) file (http://www.photodefiner.com/home/). Though when I try to load up the software, I can't get it to take on any of our windows machines (running 8 and 7). Don't have a mac on hand so don't know if that works or not, currently.

Additionally, it's one of those file formats that seem to only pop randomly generated answer sites with questionable downloads in a google search, such as  http://www.solvusoft.com/en/file-extensions/file-extension-cpd/
