Hi, what's happened to Zoomify? It's no longer under File - Export - Zoomify

edit* just got done with Adobe customer service on this issue. The tech used remote assist and moved the presets folder from the previous version into the newer version, worked like a charm and now I can once again zoomify my large image portfolio and share it via gigapan, gigamacro and my own sites. awesome, I was quite a bit upset at this, all good now. Thanks Adobe!

Hi

I'm glad it's working for you now, but here's some more info for you in case you need it in the future.

Adobe Help says:

https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/web-graphics.html#export_to_zoomify

Zoomify has their own web page, so you can always get it as a plugin if it's something you need. I don't use it, but I see that there is a free version as well as several levels of paid versions.

But now they want us to pay 80$ for something that was free before?

I don't think they are related as they use different viewers. Based on the product information from Adobe Exchange, Zoomable is based on an open source viewer called OpenSeadragon. Also, unlike Zoomify, you can use the viewer locally.

It's too bad that Adobe dropped the Zoomify export after having it for more than a decade (since CS3, if not earlier). I'm guessing the showstopper was Zoomify couldn't get their viewer to work locally. In other words, you have to upload the files to a web server to see the results. It used to work but as browsers toughened up the security settings, it broke their viewer.

That's conjecture. We don't know if Adobe dropped Zoomify or if Zoomify pulled out from Adobe. We do know that:

Zoomify is no longer included with Photoshop
Zoomify has always had a paid version
Zoomify is still available as a stand-alone product
Zoomable is not Zoomify

It needs to be put back in. I cannot update photoshop because of this. I want this feature, it is invaluable to me.I also had a thread here about it but for some reason can not find it.

Hmm, it seems to be the same here; you may want to post a Report over on

Photoshop Family

Hopefully an Adobe employee can confirm if that was a deliberate decision or a »fluke«.
