The "highres" images need to be sorted by three criteria:
are they public domain or in copyright?
are they 3D or 2D (different handling of copyright/licensing upon Commons upload)
are they high enough resolution to upload now or should we wait until later in hopes that they will be re-imaged at higher res?
The first category to be uploaded would be really highres, 2D images that are public domain. That will be the simplest case.
The second category will be highres, 3D images that are public domain.
After that we would need to decide whether to move towards making highres copyrighted images available via IIIF (but not Commons) if that's allowed, or towards uploading lower resolution images and planning to replace them later with better images. Or to do nothing and wait for the higher res images to be available.
[x] The script get_image_dimensions.ipynb was used to get the dimensions of the lower-res images to check for dimension reversals. Its output was the file image_dimensions.csv, which has the filename, accession number, pixel dimensions, and subdirectory name. It probably needs to be re-run on the highres images, which I now have access to. It probably should also grab the file extension (to get the image type: tif, jpg, png, etc.) and the file size since those factors might also be useful for determining which images are "high res".
