What is your connection speed? it might take sometime to load because they are hi-res tiles....I noticed mine is a little slower at loading. you initially see the zoomify logo then the image loads in.... then it stays fuzzy for awhile before clearing....the further out you are the longer it takes to load.......so maybe yours is still loading if you are using a slower connection? I am in u.s. and on cable modem...and it takes me a few seconds to load or clear....longer than it would take if I was running it locally which is almost instantaneous....
terrapin did you lower the resolution of your images to 72 dpi? I noticed your maps were 300 for printing....if you lower it to 72 dpi it will increase performance and allow faster load times client side...also lowering the quality of image will help too....I set it to medium to low compression for .jpg on export and you don't notice any quality loss for such a large map on the monitor....its only printing that you would see this lowering quality adjustment....the last thing you can do is reduce the dimensions of the image. If the image is 8000x8000 and at 72 dpi already you can lower it to 6000x6000 this will reduce the size by alot as well...but, then your level of zoom is directly affected. This is the numbers you have to play with to get the optimal zoom you want for how far in you want to see at 100%...some maps like that arent as detailed you don't need to go in as far so you can use this to your advantage when editing.
Your maps that were 30mb in file size (before importing to zoomify) I was able to reduce to 11 MB using the above techniques in photoshop....so if you can get the file size lower you should be able to increase the performance of alot of the loadtimes for peopel visiting the site....hope this helps if you haven't tried these methods already.

couldn't get it to work with Firefox, but it works great on IE

yeah firefox has always had problems with macromedia flash and actionscripts imbedded in the swf's....I'm not sure if its a protection feature to keep them being exposed from security issues with new scripts...or if they just can't keep up with the times with the latest published players by macromedia....but, I have worked on flash sites in the past were you just can't get certain things to display correctly in firefox no matter what you do with actions inside to be friendly with it....and its kinda strange considering macromedia usually goes out of the way to make themselves cross platform...that is their main selling feature among various os's and their media players...but, this issue maybe something internal in firefox that causes these errors... |
