Here in the Firestone Library we use Kakadu for generating jp2 files, wrapped in a Python script that also uses Imagemagick and Exiv. In short, the script will use IM to convert the embedded profile from Adobe 1998 to sRGB. The script uses Exiv to determine if the file is 24-bit or 8-bit (we outsource some imaging of documents), then using a jp2 recipe in Kakadu, create a 10:1 compressed file for access. The script allows for assigning multiple directories for processing, assigning compression levels, and will output images in the same file structure as the tiff files at any specified location. The script was written by Jon Strrop, our digital library programmer.
If you’re interested in talking about this feel free to contact me and depending on what questions you have I can also put you in touch with Jon. And BTW, if you copy the jpeg2000 plugin from Bridge to Photoshop, you will be able to open the files in PS.
