Personal Collections Overview

Personal Insight and Personal Collections gives you the ability to build your own collection from the JVA client.

Whether you want a stand-alone collection or to supplement an existing collection (using multiple collections in Insight via its cross-collection search tools), Personal Insight’s Collection Builder puts power to shape Insight in your hands.

Personal Insight will produce derivative images up to 1536 pixels wide (or tall).  Higher resolution images will need JPEG2000 wavelet encoding, not available in Personal Insight.  If you need images larger than 1536 pixels, consult your Insight Administrator.
