Questions I have:
What sizes are the jpegs delivered in (I though 200 and 700)?
doc I have says:
- A scaled, screen-sized JPEG file for quick browseability, maximum file size 150KB, pixel dimensions between 700-800W
- A scaled but larger JPEG file for closer inspection of details, maximum file size 1MB, pixel dimensions between 2000-3000W
What about these:
- Possible thumbnail GIF used to display with bibliographic information (if desired, can be generated from larger JPEG file
- A DjVu file, saved in “scanned” and “indirect modes” (all file sizes less than 100KB) for printing and zooming in on the files. Requires a browser plug-in to view.
