Title: Re: MCN-L Digitization procedures

That is not quite what programs such as Artesia or those with the image server do, though it is a great delivery system for the web.  These programs, which focus on distributing image files, actually will deliver a Tif or a jpef of a certain size as required by the user, usually for a publishing purpose.  It comes from the Reuse of Asset goals that originally drove this software development.

That sounds like what we do with VITAL.  We use JPEG2000 or MrSID high resolution derivatives from the archival tiffs.  Then, "on the fly" we recreate the image with jpeg tiles in our high-resolution image navigator (web application) for public search and display.   This provides detailed display of the images, without the heavy I/O and processing burden.
