For many years, we
have juried our biennial regional exhibition from slides, but are planning to
leap into the digital age for the 2007 show. We would love to hear from
institutions who have moved from slides to jpgs for such purposes. What
was the reaction from artists? Did you encounter any unexpected technical
problems? Did you limit file size and recommend scanning at a particular
resolution? Can you recommend any particular software for showing the
images in a way that allows them to be separated into "ins" and "outs" as the
jurying process goes along? We typically review about 1600 slides, and are
guessing that perhaps half will now come in digitally.
Thanks for any and
all advice. You can either reply to the list, or send an off-liine e-mail
to me or to my assistant (she's the one who actually manages this
exhibition). She is Chiyo Ueyama at [log in to unmask]
