Réglages QTVR / QTVR settings dialog box

The Réglages QTVR / QTVR settings dialog box appears when you press the QTVR Réglages ... / settings... button on the Enregistrer image sous / Save Image As dialog box.  It lets you control attributes of the QTVR image file. For more information see “QTVR image file format” in this chapter.

Qualité de l'image / Image quality
The text field and its associated slider control the tradeoff between JPEG image file size and image quality.  Lower quality settings tend to reduce file sizes.

            NOTE: Extremely high quality settings may produce large files with minimal improvements in image quality.  In general, there may be diminishing returns for values higher than 75%.

Taille de la visionneuse / Viewer size
Sets the dimensions of the panoramic viewer object on the web page.  This is independent of the size of the image file itself.  If you want to permit some degree of zoom-in without loss of resolution, the image file should be larger than the viewer.

Rotation automatique / Automatic rotation
Controls automatic rotation of the image.  If you select automatic rotation, the rotation begins when the image loads and continues until the user touches the view with the mouse.  Please note that automatic rotation of QTVR panoramas is performed by Javascript in the web page.  The person viewing the web page must enable Javascript for automatic rotation to function. 

Gauche / None — No automatic rotation.

Gauche / Left — Rotate as though the person viewing the image was looking toward the left side of the image.

Droite / Right — Rotate as though the person viewing the image was looking toward the right side of the image.

Vitesse / Speed — Controls the speed of rotation in revolutions per minute.

Méthode de compression / Compression method
The QuickTime format provides a variety of image compression formats with different characteristics.  The Panorama Factory supports the following subset of the QuickTime image formats:

JPEG
Sorenson
Cinepak
PNG
