It's a pretty cool format. :)
I have got the beginnings of a PHP rewrite of your python script running https://github.com/Tpt/ia-upload/pull/18 (but it's not at all finished yet). What is the best way to decrease the size of the jpgs before creating the djvu? Just scale them to ~1000 px or something? How do you handle that? (Sorry, I've read your code, but am confused...) I'm using imagemagick to do it, so any transformation it can do is easy to implement. —Sam On Fri, 27 Jan 2017, at 03:24 PM, Alex Brollo wrote: > Yes, presently IA jp2.zip are the source files for all derived ones > and for OCR.
