It's always frustration trying to display panoramic images on the web - the severe aspect ratios (3:1, 4:1, etc.) result in tiny images.
In the the CE4 version there was a Stage module which had a technique for displaying panorama-format images. For a landscape-oriented panorama, it showed a reasonable portion of the image (kind of like a frame) & allowed the user to scroll that "frame" across the rest of the image.
I am not finding a similar or better function in Backlight2 or Theater. Have I missed something?
Thanks,
John

No, you haven’t missed anything.

Hi Rod,
Thanks for the reply. I'm not very encouraged, tho - an initial attempt stymied, then nothing for a couple months. It's disappointing. It really would be great to have some way to display panoramas on the web. Some of my landscape prints can be 6-8 feet long, with extraordinary detail - but I can't show that on the web at all.

If you have Stage you can try using Theater’s PYM and embed Stage presentation.

Still on my to-do list. I've just had higher priorities in the meantime.

OK, thanks! Understand there are lots of things to take care of. Whenever you do get to this one, it would be great to improve on the technique used in CE4 Stage. I remember using Photoshop to build a little video that would auto-play to scroll through the pano. It would be fun to have a gallery of those...
:-)
