Thanks for the feedback, everyone! I’ve written some more information about PhotoZoom and addressed some of your questions on my blog (techmatt.wordpress.com/.../introducing-photozoom) .

@AndyD and @Nick:

I have tested PhotoZoom on Firefox 2 and IE7, but haven’t done so yet on Firefox 3 or IE8. I’ll do this when I get a chance.

Upload working in IE8 on Vista x64 just fine here. Try loading the albums again now and see if procesing has finished...

I'm waiting for my album to be processed, but so far I've noticed that it doesn't work in IE8 on Vista(at least for me).

I had to hit the emulate IE7 button just to get it to let me upload the pictures.

Just got out of a session with Vertigo, who built the Hard Rock site - you have to build the pan and zoom control - there's apparently some code samples on the photozoom blog. I'll have more once I get out of this madhouse and can write it up ;)

@Khristopher

Yes, you can right now with Silverlight 2.0 Beta1. You need to se the MultiScaleImage control to create the DeepZoom control. I tried to create it, but the zoom and panning does not work :(, created the photo-set sing Deep Zoom Composer and loaded it using the MultiScaleImage control, the images show-up but zoom and panning does not work, I think i need to add more to the XAML, but dont know what to add, as there's no examples of this control anywhere on the web.

PS: If anybody successfuly implemented it, please let me know :)
