Many of you are currently looking for their different interests for various projects in 128 very heterogeneous image databases. In most cases, your result lists contain various illustrations that are relevant for your presentations, term papers or research questions.
Anyone who has personal access to prometheus can store these matching images internally in image collections and use the image collections privately, or share them with individual people in your presentation or research group or publish them readable and writable within the image archive in order to give everyone in prometheus access to them.
Another option is to download your image collections for external use in a research or teaching context, either as a zip or PowerPoint file. After unzipping, you will either receive a folder with two files (.jpg and.txt) for each individual image or a presentation with slides for each image with the associated metadata.
