ARTstor Offline Image Viewer

Dear ARTstor Users -

It is with great pleasure that we announce the ARTstor Offline Image Viewer version 1.2 is finally available for both Macintosh and PC platforms. You must register to download the Image Viewer. After Registration please log in to your ARTstor account and select "Offline Image Viewer Download" from the "Tools" menu.

Key Features of this Upgrade:

1. Remote access: Prior to this version, users were unable to use the Offline Viewer from any off-campus location - regardless of being logged in to their institution's proxy access. With this version of the OIV, you'll be able to take advantage of the Remote Access Grace Period which enables all users that have logged in to their ARTstor account from a valid computer (either on-campus or through proxy) to access ARTstor through the Offline Image Viewer from anywhere for 14 days. When your grace period expires, you'll need to visit ARTstor and log in to your account from a valid computer for another two weeks of remote access.
   
   
2. Larger images: This version of the Offline Image Viewer will download ARTstor images that are up to 3200 pixels on the long side. All previous versions imported ARTstor images at 1600 pixels on the long side. You'll be able to zoom in to see even more detail! Don't worry about your download times doubling though. We've streamlined our download process, so the overall time to download your Image Group will not increase at all.
   
   
3. Automated upgrades: If a newer version of the viewer is available, you will be notified when you start the Offline Viewer while connected to the internet. The notice will inform you of the enhancements included in the newer version and you will have the choice to upgrade at any time. When you do choose to upgrade, the process is completed in one step. No more downloading and re-installing the viewer!
