Hello David,Have you looked at the Oversized Color Images Project at Columbia University Libraries? There is a Web site that discusses many of their special problems and it also demonstrates multiple solutions for displaying the same image. Here is the URL: http://www.columbia.edu/dlc/nysmb/
Good luck. I hope this helps!
