The following Image Sets Quick Start is designed to get you up and running quickly with Image Set techniques in Adobe Dynamic Media Classic.

1. Upload your primary images for multiple views and swatches

Start by uploading the images for your Image Sets. Because users can zoom on images in the Image Set Viewer, be sure you account for this ability when choosing images. Make sure that the images are least 2000 pixels in the largest size. Adobe Dynamic Media Classic supports many image file formats, but lossless TIFF, PNG, and EPS images are recommended.

On the Global Navigation bar, select Upload to upload files from your computer to a folder on Adobe Dynamic Media Classic.

See Prepare Image Set assets for upload and Upload your files.

2. Create an Image Set

In Image Sets, users select thumbnail images in the Image Set Viewer to see an image from a different side or angle.

To create an Image Set, on the Global Navigation bar, select Build, then choose Image Sets. On the Image Set window, drag your images onto the page to compose your Image Set. Organize, add, and delete images as needed.

See Create an Image Set.

3. Prepare Image Set Viewer Presets, as needed

Administrators can create or modify Image Set Viewer Presets. Adobe Dynamic Media Classic comes with default Viewer Presets for each rich media type. Use the Zoom Viewer: Custom > Images or Image Sets/Multiple Views presets to view your Image Sets.

You add or edit Viewer Presets from the Application Setup screen.

See Create and edit Viewer Presets.

Select the Image Set in the Browse Panel, and then select Preview. In the Preview page, select the thumbnail icons to examine your Image Set in the selected Viewer. You can choose different Viewers from the Presets menu.

Publishing an Image Set places it on Adobe Dynamic Media Classic servers and activates the URL string.
