	Transkribus project users should primarily utilize human-legible JPG files (image/jpeg) for work within the system. A smaller file size speeds file uploads and minimizes shared storage space on Transkribus servers. Metadata & Discovery Services can assist with exporting Rosetta files and converting large preservation master files (usually TIFF files) into more lightweight JPG files. Please use the [mailto:support@cjh.org CJH Help Desk] to contact Metadata Services with a list of IEs that you need for your respective project. The files will be exported from Rosetta, reformatted to JPG, and placed in a mapped SFTP location for you to retrieve.
