You'll remember Deep Zoom, a format which lets you explore an image easily no matter what size it is.
Zoom.it is a free service by Microsoft which enables us to view and share high-resolution imagery using the Deep Zoom.
It can be used by simply pasting the URL of the image to the form on the website or via the API provided.
The service returns a shortened URL of the zoomable image for sharing easily and embed link for inserting into web pages.
PixelZoomer is a very handy Firefox extension for web developers which can replace the step of taking screenshots of a web page and pasting it into an image editing software for making pixel-perfect measurements.
Once it is activated (clicking an icon at the bottom of Firefox), a custom window with the web page screenshot is loaded.
Inside this window, you can zoom in/out, select specific areas to see their width/height and pick the color of a pixel.
The extension has an option to grab the screenshots using Java runtime (more accurate) or Canvas (faster).
Seadragon is a technology, by Microsoft, for deeply zooming images of any size. It provides almost perfect transitions independent from the sizes of the images.
Seadragon Ajax is an interface for using/embedding this technology to any website.
Developers can customize viewers & controls with the Seadragon Ajax Library. It is also available at the Silverlight platform.
