Use the left / right buttons below the image to pan. Click to go fast. Thanks to whoever created this bit of clever javascript to pan a wide image. We’ll be going back here again tomorrow, very fun. Open the whole photo.
Here’s another javascript’d panorama of blackcomb’s view on July 29, 2009.
Hi Phil,
I’m enjoying your pictures and your thoughts.
Since you seem to have a mountain panorama theme going on, I thought I’d share one of my own.

Very cool, Doug – the zooming is really a great feature…I really like the photo, esp. the far right of the image. I haven’t even looked at silverlight in the past, but it looks like it’s fairly accessible.
Here’s another panorama that I just updated to work with the Silverlight deep zoom stuff:

There are a bunch of ways to prepare your images but the easiest, by far, is to simply use the Photoshop plug-in here:

ha! Thanks for the direction! That last one is stunning. That plugin probably works great on CS3, but it doesn’t on CS4, that I can tell, but it led me down a path I hadn’t found before, and I found adobe’s similar functionality, called zoomify, I’m going to see what I can do with that.
Zoomify’s cool. It’s been around for a while. I didn’t know it was built into Photoshop now.
Any chance you were using the 64-bit version of Photoshop? The HDView plug-in above should work in the 32-bit version of Photoshop CS4. (It did for me, anyway.)
yeah – it’s 64bit. it installs to the x86 folder like they’ve made it to work on 64 bit, but I used the hdmake from command line, and it doesn’t work either.
