The Recogito PDF Annotator now applies better post-processing to the annotation highlights. The differences are subtle. But I like how those gaps, uneven line height and messy overlapping box artefacts are now smoothed into clean, continuous lines. Before vs. after:

A question for #DigitalArtHistory: If you were to create a small online image database (with IIIF support) right now, which software would you choose? Fylr (ex easydb), Coneda KOR, something completely different?

It was a pleasure to speak at the “What is @iiif.bsky.social ? The Images in Dialogue -project” (bit.ly/48pA6zr) program at the @kansalliskirjasto.fi (18 September) / It was great to meet with staff and to get a special tour of the amazing library spaces

If you are interested in the history of book, check out this phenomenal exhibit curated by the wonderful Martin Heijdra at Princeton. It is a model exhibit in so many ways, covering different parts of the world, so many languages, and, images are in IIIF dpul.princeton.edu/global-book-...
