Abstract: A system for processing image data, storing image data and accessing image data is provided. The system includes computing hardware, and one or more databases in communication with the computing hardware for storing image information. Upon receiving user instructions, the computing hardware is operable to combine a plurality of images to create a montage of mutually abutting images arranged within a pre-defined geometrical spatial envelope. The system is operable to manage the montage effectively as a single file for purposes of storing in the databases, and/or accessing from the databases.
