Deep Zoom Composer

Deep Zoom Composer is a comprehensive application that comprises tools for editing and arranging pictures, in order to export them as a Deep Zoom image or Collection, and it integrates into Silverlight's MutliScaleImage control.

The interface of the program is clean and intuitive, with a modern interface. Loading pictures into the working environment is done with the help of either the file browser or "drag and drop" method.

You can add as many items as you want, in order to manage multiple layers. Deep Zoom Composer offers support for the TIF, TIFF, JPG, BMP and PNG file types.

Standard graphic editing options revolve around pan, zoom, object alignment and vertical distribution tools. It is possible to view and edit file properties (path, size, tag, tooltip, minimum and maximum visibility), as well as create a slideshow, panoramic photograph or default menu, create hotspots, add links to images and hotspots, or add internal and external links, along with impressions.

Projects can be exported to images (JPEG or PNG), the Silverlight Deep Zoom or Seadragon Ajax format. Alternatively, you can save them to file for further modifications.

Deep Zoom Composer includes user documentation, has a good response time and needs a moderate-to-high amount of CPU and system memory. No error dialogs have been shown in our tests and the app did not hang or crash. Deep Zoom Composer comes packed with options to please the entire audience.
