The UK's Wellcome Library announced they were using JPEG2000 last year - they've blogged about it at http://wellcomelibrary.blogspot.com/2009/09/wellcome-library-to-use-jpeg2000-image.html. The page also includes a copy of the report that informed their decision, or you can download it directly at http://library.wellcome.ac.uk/assets/wtx056572.pdf I'd be interested to hear what you decide to do - JPEG2000 looks interesting for its ability to offer deep zooming for publication online but it's hard to get a sense of how widely it's supported or used. cheers, Mia -------------------------------------------- http://openobjects.org.uk/ http://twitter.com/mia_out
