We archive in TIFF and using PS we derive lossless JPEG2000 for dissemination from an Aware server. Because of a lack of browser support the end-user sees a jpeg derived from the lossless JPEG2000 file. Perhaps a nicer JPEG2000 software package is "Djatoka" (http:// www.dlib.org/dlib/september08/chute/09chute.html), which is open source and customizable.
There are certainly advantages to archiving with lossless JPEG2000 (definitely a storage space savings), but so far TIFF has a reputation as a robust archival format supported by virtually all capture devices. I don't think JPEG2000 is going away, it's just not leaps and bounds better than TIFF as an archival format.
