We typically use 2400 px images in our internal database. The database creates a series of derivatives upon import and the user can then choose which version they want to open, save, or print. The derivatives are about 900 px, and a thumbnail. The tiff masters are stored outside of the database and range from about 3000 px to 8000 px. When the images are processed over to the web side, three sizes are created: 500 px, 240 px, and 80 px. In the future we hope to use zoomable formats on the web (e.g. Zoomify, jpeg2000) and if so would probably publish the full 2400 px version from the collections database.

What size do you use for online purposes? Many thanks!
