Hey, inspired by the Djakota postig I whipped up a little wrapper around IIP [1] and VIPS [2]. It is basically the same think as Djakota, but as a compiled fast-cgi program (rather than Java).
A couple of examples: http://toolserver.org/~dschwen/iip/wip.php?f=LC-39_Observation_gantry_pano.j... http://toolserver.org/~dschwen/iip/wip.php?f=Chicago.jpg http://toolserver.org/~dschwen/iip/wip.php?f=Seattle_7.jpg
The examples use a flash viewer, but you can append &flash=no to the urls to get a Javascript viewer.
This is beautiful! I'm playing with it on an aging Windows machine, and I think it's smoother to view a large image via this tool than it is to open it locally and scroll across it :-)
Does the processing and recompression cause any noticeable lack of fidelity, do you think? Working from a jpeg original, then converting to tiff and back again sounds like it might be problematic...
