Actually, I've come up with an easier problem to solve since our last exchange. Is there a good way to convert an Aperio svs file into a manageable jpeg file (or something web viewable)? All I need is a visual representation on the Web at this point so that someone can see what's in the original file that's stored on the server. Essentially, I need to create a thumbnail from the original image. Any suggestion?

Thanks for your help.

If you have enough memory to read an entire image plane into RAM, you should be able to use the "bfconvert" command line utility. But if your image planes are very large, it is non-trivial. You could use Bio-Formats to read the plane in tiles, size each one down to thumbnail size, paint the thumbnail tiles onto a BufferedImage, then save as JPEG when finished. But we don't yet have a way to do this without writing any code.
