The National Library of New Zealand is embarking on the project of creating a Digital Image Library. I expect to use Kodak pcd files stored on either CD or Hard Disk with the thumbnails and screen resolution images seperated from the 'print quality images'. My methodology is as follows; 1. Scan original (using Agfa Horizon+ flatbed scanner) 2. Create the "Imagepac" pcd file 3. Take the thumbnails and screen res. images and convert them to JPEG file for online use and web access.
I am having difficulty converting the pcd file in photoshop; when I try to convert to any other format this message is given; Unable to access this file. Please verify security priveledges on the network drive. Any solution to this?
I have found the Getty Art History Information Programme (http://www.ahip.getty.edu/intro_imaging/0-Cover2.html) web site an excellent documentation for Digital Image Library building, are there any others?
I have a suggestion for point number three. For the web, you only need one size/resolution. Having one size image that fits your full browser page, that same image file can be reduced by the browser to fit whatever parameters you put in with the html code. Does this make sense to you.
