No updates to speak of at the moment Teebor..... We're still at only 1/4 way there and no new sign ups :cry: not sure why the interest seems to have died out on this....
Come on guys! if you want access to this artwork we need to make this happen soon!
Best Regards,

Just thought I'd mention that I resaved a couple of the original TIFs to see how they'd come out with LZW compression. I thought that the originals would have already been LZW compressed, but it seems not; I took a couple of 400mb TIFs, opened them in Photoshop and resaved them turning LZW compression on. This brought the files down to about 260mb.
LZW is a lossless compression used for TIFs, it's very similar to zip compression but it works by compressing data inside the file, so the compressed TIF is still readable and editable afterwards with no loss in quality. LZW compressing is a lot faster than zipping too.
If you can do this to every TIF on the drive (a lengthly procedure, but a little Photoshop script might speed it up), I think you might just be able to squeeze the full collection onto a 320gb drive.

That's a very worthwhile experiment Joymonkey..... Maybe it might be worth doing a file size comparison with LZW, compared to zipping the same file with maximum compression... and also will the file zip by any appreciable amount after LZW compression.
On a sadder note chaps.... I'm going to be away fro the next three days... as my Aunt died last Sunday, and I have to attend her funeral some miles away from here. So please don't expect any updates until Saturday at least. Hopefully by then a few more people will have signed up.
