Thinking about the way I would want to use images myself, the methods described here are or will be great for browsing. But the one special function I will really need will be the ability to outline a rectangle on a low res version and save that area at full resolution for use in some other software. I hope that will be part of the new software.

Saving of subimages is supported, although I think it is currently limited to the part of the image that is visible within the view window (but I could be wrong about that). Our initial release will probably support IASViewer as opposed to our own HiView software, athough it looks like there is some good progress being made with HiView. It's difficult to say at this time if a version of HiView will be made available at the same time as our PDS release.

As for FWTools, yes, FWTools, works essentially like the new client software, however, the difference is that FWTools doesn't support the jpip networking protocol, at least not as far as I've been able to tell. This means that in order to view a file using FWTools, you still have to download the whole file first before you can view it. The jpip protocol allows you to only download the portions of the image you are interested in at the resolution that you want, so you can avoid having to download 2.5 Gigabytes of data to view a single image.
