Format.Creation
This JPEG image was created by members of the Stony Brook University Libraries 2003 Digitization Team using Adobe Photoshop 7.0 software. Postcards were selected from the Long Island Historic Postcards Collection housed in the Special Collections of Stony Brook University Libraries and checked for copyright dates based on postmarks found on the reverse sides of the cards. Those cards found to be out of copyright were scanned at 600 dpi, 24 bit color setting using a Hewlett Packard Scanjet 6200C with HP Intelligent Scanning Technology. The scanned images were cropped to provide a border and saved as original size master TIFF images. Access versions of the master images were then generated at 150 dpi, 24 bit color setting, original sizing, using Adobe Photoshops' image size function. Naming conventions were added and master images were named for the town from which they originated within the original collection and given the suffix 'MA' with the number of that particular card scanned from the collection folder. Access images were named according to the same naming convention only 'AC' was inserted where 'MA' would have been placed. In addition, access images have been cropped to save file size and make them more consistent with one another. The Western States Imaging Best Practices Guidelines were referenced during the planning phase of the project. Average master TIFF file size is 25-35 megabytes; access image size 50 to 75 kilobytes.
