1. Upload zoom Images
Start by uploading your zoom images to Adobe Dynamic Media Classic. For optimal zooming, Adobe Dynamic Media Classic recommends that the images are at least 2000 pixels in the longest size.
On the Global Navigation bar, select Upload to upload images from your computer or network to a folder on Adobe Dynamic Media Classic. See Upload zoom images.
2. Create Zoom Targets for guided zooming
Zoom targets present a way for you to highlight specific parts of an image. For example, you can direct attention to the parts of an image that make it unique or distinctive. In the Zoom Viewer window, Zoom Targets appear in the form of thumbnail images to the side of the image. Selecting one of these zoom target thumbnails automatically zooms to a part of the image that you specify.
To create a zoom target, select Edit and choose Zoom Targets, or open an image in the Browse panel in Detail View and select Zoom Targets. Then use the Zoom tools on the Zoom Target Editor page so you can isolate part of the image as a target. See Create Zoom Targets for Guided Zoom.
3. Set up Zoom Viewer Presets
Zoom Viewer Presets determine the style and behavior of your Zoom Viewers. You can set up Zoom Viewer Presets if you are an administrator; Adobe Dynamic Media Classic comes with default “best practice” Zoom Viewer Presets as well.
To create a Zoom Viewer Preset, on the Global Navigation bar, go to Setup > Viewer Presets. On the Viewer Presets page, select Add, choose a platform, and a Zoom Viewer, and then select Add. Then choose options on the Configure Viewer
page.
Adobe Dynamic Media Classic offers Zoom Viewer Preset options that let you select the button style and overall look of the viewer. You can also customize the zoom settings for your Web site. See Set up Zoom Viewer Presets.
4. Preview images with the Zoom Viewer
You can preview images in a Zoom Viewer to see what the zooming experience is when images are zoomed.
To explore different Zoom Viewer Presets and how they present the zooming experience, select an image in the Browse panel and select Preview. Go to Presets > Zoom, and then select a preset with the Zoom menu.
Zoom buttons appear. You can see what the zoom images look like on your Web site. Select the Zoom buttons (and Zoom Targets) so you can test the settings of the Zoom Viewer Preset you chose. See Preview images with different Zoom Viewers.
5. Publish zoom images
Publishing your zoom images places them on Dynamic Media Image Servers so that they can be delivered to your Web site and application. As part of the publishing process, Adobe Dynamic Media Classic activates URL strings. These URL strings call zoom images from Dynamic Media Image Servers to your Web site or application.
On the Global Navigation bar, select Publish. On the Publishing dialog box, select Submit Publish. See Publishing zoom images.
6. Link Zoom Viewers to your Web page
Adobe Dynamic Media Classic creates the URL callout strings necessary for zooming images, and activates them when you publish images to Dynamic Media Image Servers. You can copy these URL strings from the Preview page. After you copy the URL strings, they are available to your Web sites and applications. See Link Zoom Viewers to your Web page.
