I have had tons of customers ask me why they can't zoom in on their pictures when they are viewing their online album.  Some find it hard to view them without being able to zoom in really close.  I haven't noticed that this feature is in the program and was wondering if it could be added.  I purchased the unlimited year of service and have been really pleased.  But, I do think that adding this option would be a plus!

thanks~ 

Yeah, I think this feature would be "the next step" toward coolness and usefulness of zenFolio.  I hope it will come along!

here is a link to a tutorial on a Photoshop plugin called "Zoomify". It comes built into Photoshop CS3 and CS4. If you are using either of these, and interested in zooming, it would be interesting to see if it works on a Zenfolio page as well (although if it's flash based, maybe not).

Wouldn't work at the moment - all the images we see within zenFolio are generated by them from ours, and we can't pipe anything directly into zF without going through that regeneration filter.  

Regarding Zoomify, that's good news and bad.  Bad, that we don't have any zoom solution here, but good that zenFolio remains "Flash-free," and therefore compatible with the future of iPhones. 

I saw an interesting zoom implementation recently at FineArtAmerica.com, that seemed simply image map-based, but I don't even crave anything so complicated here.  FAA's solution allowed multiple zoomable areas - click a subsquare and AJAX opens a floating window to observe the contents of that square.  But I just want/need to define one area of my choice, and give viewers that single "heightened glimpse" of more detail than visible within the whole composition on screen at once.  

This issue is, of course, especially relevant for anyone working in portrait orientation, where the whole compositions are scaled rather small to fit entirely within the window boundaries.  I really appreciate zenFolio's dynamic scaling, but since most my work is "upright," it's a limitation too.

yeah, figured the flash in Zoomify was out. just as well. But, oh the things technology can/will provide! Here is another link to some REALLY COOL technology from the TED Talks: http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/blaise_aguera_y_arcas_demos_photosynth.html

I'm sure when this type of thing becomes more viable to mass use, Zenfolio will be looking to utilize/partner with it, like they did with CoolIris implementation. Perhaps even the folks @ CoolIris will find a way to allow "deep zooming" for images in their product...

I would love to see the ability to zoom as well. Even better if it's an option that could be turned on or off by gallery/photo.
