I have released ZoomifyImage 1.3, which fixes a significant bug and adds two new contributions.

Displaying High Resolution Images on the Web with Zoomifyer.

I recently wrote an article, due to be published in this month’s Information Technologies and Libraries (ITAL) journal, about a project I started a few years ago called Zoomify Image. Basically, Zoomifyer is a Flash based image viewer that allows you to quickly view high resolution images over the Web. And I mean really high resolution images–files Gigabytes in size. It can do this because of a second piece of software that pre-processes images on the server, splitting them into tiles at various scales that the Zoomifyer viewer can then asynchronously request as needed to render the image in the browser. Zoomify Image is written in Python and makes Zoomifyer available across platforms.
