Deep Zoom Image Composer for Silverlight Releases to Preview

by Don Burnett

Over at the Expression Blend blog, Microsoft released a tool for Silverlight 2.0 to preview release called the Deep Zoom Composer.  The user guide has also been released.

So what does this do for you? Well if you are developing HD photo applications for Silverlight 2.0 that uses the Multi-Scale Image control, it lets you compose an image or a collection of images.

As you notice, it offers layered views, positioning of images with a great deal of control. It's very easy to work with and I seriously recommend that you check it out.

You can download it for free right now right here.. If you just want to see the cool things you can do with it, you might check out the Hard Rock Memorabilia Collection web site that was completely built with the multi-scale image control.
