On this link to some family photos on the UNCA server, when I bring one of those pics into Pro X it is over 30mb. There are 5 pics on the link but it loads almost instantly. How do they do that? - jb

I am not sure how they do it, but there is no earthly reason why a photo on a website should be that large. Unless your aim is for people to download the photo for printing in mind.
I just looked at the first photo and it appears that there are two or three photos side by side, but the file size is not that large. The one segment I downloaded is only 20.6K
My mistake, Gary - I had copied the larger pic from the site and if I go to export .jpg it comes up at 30513 bytes. If I download the thumbnail it comes up a 5897 bytes.
What I am trying to figure out is how to get the quality and detail of these pics on the ones on my web site. I scanned the pics on the web site back in 1990 with what at the time was a "good" scanner. Wondering what do I use to re-scan or whatever to get this detail.
I have searched for scanners and read several articles that rate them - then read the reviews and they are all over the place, some love and some hate the same model. It you or anyone else has suggestions would appreciate it. I have old negatives of several sizes, photos and slides I would like to do.
Take care - jb
Unless its a Google maps type site Gary. I should imagine its done in a very similar way. When you zoom in on an image on Google maps it's not a single hi-res image you're zooming in on, it's a series of smaller images tiling on the screen. You can see this if you zoom in on jebs images and right click / view image. At the varying zoom factors you're not viewing the same image but progressively reduced sized images which are tiled on the screen (which you did mention).Quote:

Have a look at XU-OOMER ► http://xara-users.info/demos/xu-oomer/index.htm
Or in XaraXone format ► http://www.xaraxone.com/guest/guest9...torial%201.htm
Tks for the help, guys -
Gary, does one have to go through these steps for each photo? I want to make every pic on my web site able to zoom and magnify and have a lot more pages to put up.
Have gone to the link given - http://codecanyon.net/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&term=zoom - but don't know which one might do what I want.
Also, have tried to use the widget cloud tent 1 but when I go to save it just sits on "loading". Have tried several different pics with different res. Also both .xar and .jpg.
Again, tks and the best to all in the NEW YEAR. - jb
I have been trying to figure out how they get the detail in these pics when they zoon in.
When I cut/paste into Pro X, no matter which I copy - original size or their zoomed ones - the detail is completely gone. When I take any photo I have in Xara and zoom it the detail is gone.
How do they get this detail - right down to nails in the building and the sign detail when zoomed when using a file that loads so fast? - jb

Jeb, it's lots of javascript trickery.
Have a look at the page source to get a clue.
You can't do this in Xara, not natively and not without a lot of external & inline scripting. You've been shown a few alternatives, if these aren't suitable then I suggest you try to contact the web master of the site you keep linking to and ask them how it's done and if you can buy/borrow the scripts?
OK - I have contacted UNCA and they will be back in on the 16th - maybe some info then. - tks - jb
