Neptune: slide show in full screen and soom in partial panorama
Posted: 5 Jun 23, 22:46
 
Hello,

I use the neptun skin for my photoalbum and I ask myself if there is a possibility to zoom in in panorama pictures? I have created a partial panorama from 4 pictures and it whould be nice to see this picture in full screen and have the possibility to zoom into the picture.

Excample https://andreasschuetz-hgw.de/wp-content/Fotoalbum/Deutschland/index.html
last picture.

Andreas

The fullscreen part is easy - just check Neptune > Index Page & Icons > Options > Fullscreen option.

For zooming, Neptune > Slides > Options > Zoom. You can try it both with and without the Corner icon. If you choose to have no corner icon (look at the top left corner of the slide image), clicking in the middle of the image zooms it. Clicking on the left side or right side navigates to next/previous.

One more important trick - to keep the pano wide, set Settings > Images > Image bounds > Images to something like 10000x750. Yes, that's ten thousand pixels wide.

thanks a lot, but both of these option are grayed out at my PC.

And how to activate the fullscreen option while viewing the album? I did not see any option.

And if I try this it seems to be that this is for all slides (I get a message while creating the album)

best regards

You can't have an automated slideshow, and also let the viewer zoom in and out on images. See setzoom.png.

See gofullscreen.png.

Yes, it is, but these are bounds, not fixed dimensions. Try it.

(I get a message while creating the album)

What message?

Thanks, this works, but the zoom factor is very little if you click at the picture.
Is there any possibility to adjust the maximum zoom factor?

The zoom only takes an image up to its actual size. It will never show it larger than it really is, which would just render it blurry. Nothing can magically create more pixels than are present in the image - if it's pushed to do so, all a browser can do is guess at it.

So, if the image in the finished album is 2000x1000 pixels, for example, it might be shown on a typical monitor at something like 1600x800 pixels, since it needs space for things like the browser's own toolbars, the caption under the image, etc.. But zooming is never going to show you anything more than 25% larger than that, up to a maximum of 2000x1000. There just aren't any more pixels there.

You could set the image bounds very large, like 3840x2160 (double the default value in the skin). Then, zooming would really "zoom in" to the image. But the slide images would be huge, and your pages would load very slowly. Someone visiting on a slow connection might have quite a wait before he gets to see each image.

Try it yourself with a few large images. In my quick experiment, bounds of 1920x1080 produced a slide image of 346KB. Using bounds of 3840x2160 produced a slide image of over 1.3MB, almost four times the size.

This is, of course, why the zoom option isn't selected by default in the skin. It's usually not worth messing with.

If you have just a few images that you want people to be able to zoom in on, you could set different image bounds just for those images. See the attached screenshot. The variable names are maxImageWidth and maxImageHeight. Capitalization is important.

Instead of writing user variables you could use this extension then it is just right click the thumbnail and enter the bounds.

I know that it's not good to enlarge pictures, but I have exported the picture in lightroom with 20.000 Pixel. But in jalbum I can see it just with 800x450.

Is there any possibility to have extend the maximum pixel for some pictures only? That would be great. I do not want to have such large pixelmaximum for all pictures. In a 2000 picture album I would need this feature for maybe 10 pictures.

Edit:
I just tried it maxImageWidth and maxImageHeight. It works fine for one picture only.
But it looks a little bit crazy if you zoom in,because you do not have the full height of the screen.

Install the extension I linked to above, and follow the instructions. That is the easiest way to have specific images use different image bounds.

The lightbox script used in this skin determines the initial frame size, based on what it will need to show the entire image. When you zoom in, it doesn't change the frame size. There is theoretically a way to change this behavior, but in my quick tests, it doesn't work as the documentation says it does.

I'll try to contact the developer, but the script is a dormant product, with no ongoing development, so I don't hold out much hope for a fix.

Thanks a lot, that works.

Now only one feature is missing:
if you click in a picture to enlarge it, it would be great if this zoomed picture would be shown in full screen...

Jeff has answered that, above. But you might have to wait a while for an update.
