Download images from emuseum for art prints?

Hi,

http://www.emuseum.jp offers many great pictures of swords. So I was thinking of getting one of those pictures and have it printed as a poster to hang on my wall. Now the thing is, when you zoom in, the large image is created from many composite pictures.

Does anyone know how to get the whole image?

Oh, and let me say that this is only for myself. I have no intention of selling this.

Thanks.

Hi,

I had a look at their web pages, and i could download all the individual images, now it is a matter of putting them back together like a jigsaw puzzle. There are programs around that will let you do that.

There are 6 levels of zoom, each level has it's own grid pattern of joined images.

i hope this helps

i had the same idea, but wasn't able to copy the pictures. i suspect this is intentional, but if there's a way, i'd like to know.

If you can download the individual images, Microsoft's free ICE compositor (http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/um/redmond/groups/ivm/ice/) will easily & quickly interlace them seamlessly.

Thanks.

What I did grudgingly now: Since the Internet Explorer wourldn't even give me any info on the images (just navi_blank.gif) I tried Firefox. Although it still told me that, a click on "view image info" revealed the location of the real files. There are 6 zoom stages named d1 thru d6 (d6 being the largest). Then I downloaded all d6 pictures (231 or 462 in my case) with a download manager. Then came the hard work, piecing everything together in paint - ah that took a while!

But the image is now like 8400x2100 pixels. That's good enough to even get a 1:1 print.
