[Koha] [EXTERNAL] Uploading local cover images

[Hernandez, Heather]

Hi, Cab--

We've found that our installation of Koha needs the image file to have
dimensions of 9999 pixels or less on each side.

In case it's helpful, here's some info on our workflow:
We do preservation scanning since we're a museum collection; in short, we
usually scan at 300dpi, full color, .tiff, and then create a .jpg from the
.tiff with dimensions of less than 9999 pixels per side for uploading into
Koha.  We store the .tiffs as digital preservation masters, and they're
also handy if we get a request for a high quality version of an image
(e.g., for publication).  We also contribute .jpg cover images to
OpenLibrary.org if they're lacking there.

Hope this is helpful!  Cheerio,
h2
