I create very wide panos that are meant to scroll through. I adjust image size to a heigth of 600 pixels and as wide as the image quality and content will alow. I post these wide pans in windows that only contain the image then I instruct the viewer to scroll slowly as to be turning on there heals. This alows for an interesting concept and an awful lot of photograph to be viewed.
P.S.I enjoyed this article very much. Reafirms findings from a couple years experiments and I picked pointers I want to try. Good work.
Thanks for the hint (and nice comment). I also used 600px at first but then someone found out that with some browsers you don't get the full height on your screen, especially if you have customized toolbars in your browser. So I settled for 550px, which seems to be good at resolutions 1024 x 768.

Re: Nicely Done!
That's exactly what I do, only on Adobe Image Ready. Just make sure you enclose the imported code in noformat-tags (button above any text-edit control on SP). Otherwise you'll create large blank sections due to the line-breaks.
i am just getting around to trying some of this stuff out on my pages. without this article, i wouldn't know where to begin. thanks for taking to time to help people like me out
You're welcome. Actually I return to this page each time I post a new page and have a panorama to prove I have been there. And just copy the code. And that's what it's for ;-)
