My photo gallery with new Deep Zoom Composer!

Microsoft released new version of Deep Zoom Composer for Silverlight 2 Beta 2 on 1st August. Because of the issues with new functionality, an updated preview have been released on 3rd August (2 days later!)

The major new features include Panoramic Stitching and PhotoZoom Upload.

New Deep Zoom Composer integrates with the Live Labs PhotoZoom service: http://photozoom.mslivelabs.com. You can simply publish your image galleries with Deep Zoom on the Internet. I uploaded my photo album to PhotoZoom -;) My puzzle: how many photos can you find in main photo? (look at the beer can!)

The application now allows you to stitch similar images using technology from Microsoft Research's Interactive Visual Group.

More details about new Deep Zoom Composer: http://blogs.msdn.com/expression/default.aspx
