Hello David,

Have you looked at the Oversized Color Images Project at Columbia
University Libraries?  There is a Web site that discusses many of their
special problems and it also demonstrates multiple solutions for displaying
the same image.  Here is the URL:  http://www.columbia.edu/dlc/nysmb/

Good luck.  I hope this helps!
