I was curious if anybody uses TMS as their digital management system for their digital images? Or, do you store certain images in TMS (i.e., a thumbnail and a large jpeg image for the web) and other, larger images (i.e., TIFF files) in another database/digital management system. I'm trying to figure out if TMS is a viable option to store large TIFF files, in addition to JPEG images for the web. I'd hate to manage another database/digital management system to organize these large TIFF files. I can imagine I'd end up exporting large amounts of TMS object data to this other database, which seems silly. I'm just not sure if TMS is set-up to handle thousands of large TIFF files - I guess it may depend on the size of the server for the images. If you do have a separate digital management system, that is not TMS, what do you use? Thanks for answering my questions. - Rob Rob Morgan Collections Database Administrator The Baltimore Museum of Art 10 Art Museum Drive Baltimore, MD 21218 Tel: 443-573-1730 Fax: 443-573-1581 [log in to unmask]
