Panoramas with Zoomify

One aim of serving high-quality images across the web is to make them easily viewable in a web browser with an appropriate plugin. The following panoramas are constructed with Zoomify, which tiles a source image, fitting it whole into the designated size of browser window, and then allowing zooming up to 100% of the source image's size. Zoomify uses the flash plugin: your browser should ask you to install it if you do not have it already.

Zoomify images are straightforward to prepare, and therefore offer an alternative route for viewing large images to that mapped by DjVu (cf my DjVu presentations here).

NB:
- panoramas are difficult to construct accurately without tripods and more time and patience than I have available. So none of the following panoramas is anywhere near perfect!
- the underlying source images are big, none being smaller than 1.9Mb, and the largest over 7Mb;
