Title
Checking significant properties of images have been retained after migration
Detailed description When we convert images between formats to create preservation or dissemination versions, we would like some way of checking if the conversion is successful (other than by just checking a random few by eye). Would be great if there could be a way that certain quantifiable properties of raster image files could be extracted and compared.
  • dimensions
  • number of pixels
  • presence and content of metadata
    ...etc

    This would be useful for conversions between jpg/tif/gif/png and possibly other formats too.

Possible Solution approaches A tool already exists that characterises JPEG2000 files. JPanalyser? Need similar tools for other raster image file formats
Context Details of the institutional context to the Issue. (May be expanded at a later date)
Lessons Learned Notes on Lessons Learned from tackling this Issue that might be useful to inform digital preservation best practice
