[MCN-L] Advice/Assistance for Converting TIFF files to JPEG 2000
Sorry for the repost, but initial post got sent in mid-composition. The Center for Creative Photography at the University of Arizona is looking for some advice/assistance, potentially consulting with someone having deep experience in converting TIFF files programmatically to JPEG 2000. We have made some naive attempts at doing this via ImageMagick, but haven't figured out the secret sauce to make that work well. The JPEG 2000's we've converted couldn't be opened in Photoshop unless going through Bridge, image metadata in the TIFF file was removed, and the color profile was changed during conversion, all undesirable conversion side-effects. As the Center has more than 100,000 files it would like to convert, using conversion software/processes will be essential, and we're hoping that some of you smart folks have already figured out how to to this. Please respond to me directly if you're posting wouldn't be of general interest.

[MCN-L] Tiered pricing for high-res image files without asking about use
Hi all, We're investigating adding automated ecommerce delivery of high-res images as part of an overhaul of our digital collections website. As part of this process, we're hoping to revise our current practices for image delivery, moving away from asking about potential end use (we want to avoid making a legal call on how people use our material). However, we still will want to charge a fee to recoup at least some of our costs to image and catalog the material, and we'd like to make these fees fair to potential users (e.g. charging less to nonprofits than for-profits, making fees very minimal for personal use, etc.). The examples I've been able to find online for museum image delivery tier the pricing based on the end use (x for print run under 5,000, y for print run over 5,000, z for web use, etc.), which we'd like to avoid. Question: Are others delivering image files (online or off) without asking the requestor about potential use, and if so, would you be willing to share your fee structure-particularly if it's tiered? Thanks! . Gain Perspective. Get Inspired. Make History. Ellice Engdahl, PMP Digital Collections Content Manager P: 313.982.6005 E: elli...@thehenryford.org www.thehenryford.org .
