I am tiling large images (>4GB). I would like these to be easier to view, ideally using a web interface or some software similar to those freely available from aperio etc. I am told that either a tiled format or pyramid tiff would be the best option, but I don't know if the pyramid tiff created by IM (e.g. convert input.tiff -compress jpeg -quality 90 -define tiff:tile-geometry=256x256 ptif:output.tiff) will be readable by these programs. Does anyone know?
thanks!

PS Does not have to be svs, just one example

If you already have Imagemagick, then just create a tiled pyramid tiff and display it in other software such as your aperio. If you are not on Imagemagick already, we can convert an tiff to tiled pyramid tiff format and you can test its display. If you do not have aperio or other display software, then I do not know. Some one who has such software would have to do the test for you. If aperio can display pyramid tiffs then the one IM creates should be displayable. It follows tiff standards.

Give us more information about your situation.
