Hello again, Thanks to Mike, I knew this was likely something to do with our JP2 library; I'm now pretty sure I've traced it back to a hard-coded frombuffer() setting--"L", for grayscale--in the NativeImaging module that Chronam uses to optimize image generation/broker image libraries. I'm wary of the consequences of changing that, and will be investigating further. Phew. Thanks, everyone-- Stephanie ________________________________ From: Data, API, website, and code of the Chronicling America website [[log in to unmask]] on behalf of Michael Beccaria [[log in to unmask]] Sent: Tuesday, June 23, 2015 9:52 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: Color Images in Chronam? Stephanie, I used color images in a local chronam instance and they seemed to work out and display properly. You can see here where all of our yearbook covers were scanned in color. http://pscpubs.paulsmiths.edu/lccn/sn89038522/issues/first_pages/ We used png images. I’m not sure what might be causing this on your end.

Hello! I know I've asked this before, but I just spent another chunk of time trying to find an answer and figured it might be worth another shot. I can't figure out what's causing images (thumbnails, zooming viewer image tiles) to always appear as grayscale--even if the loaded original (JP2 or TIFF) is in color. I've combed through the code for anything that I think would produce grayscale and I'm coming up empty. I know I'm missing something--downloading a page image from the interface returns the full-color version. Any insight would be greatly appreciated--we're trying to use the Chronam software for post-1923 papers and it seems like a shame to lose the color if we have it.
