01 / Research tooling / Sole developer
TIFF Image Editor
A specialist tool for arranging very large scans and reconstructing damaged papyri.
- The problem
- The research team needed software that could handle very large image files and automatically arrange them for papyrus reconstruction.
- My role
- I was the only developer. I built the editor in Python, with tools for arranging and stitching images and measuring them precisely.
- Technical trade-off
- Navigating very large source files is slow. The design uses reduced-resolution previews for navigation and keeps the original data for export, so the interface stays responsive without losing detail in the output.
- The result
- The project received the EU Seal of Excellence in recognition of its quality, but was not funded because no funds were available.
- Python
- Pillow
- Tkinter
- PyInstaller
