Large Image Solution Pack

Overview

The Large Image Solution Pack module supports ingesting and viewing TIF/TIFF files, which by nature tend to be extremely large in both filesize and resolution. The module supports creation of derivatives for use when a smaller filesize is necessary, and also supports the installation of image viewers that can accommodate the larger resolution.

Dependencies

• ImageMagick is required to create image derivatives
• OpenSeadragon can be used as an alternative viewer
• Core Collection Solution Pack
