Adjusting your workspace
Navigating the workspaces
Deep Zoom Composer contains three main workspaces that present a general workflow: the Import workspace, the Compose workspace, and the Export workspace. To switch workspaces, click the Import button , the Compose button , or the Export button at the top of the application window.
The Import workspace
The Import workspace is where you add images to your project. You can use this workspace to see the entire gallery of images that you've imported into your project, and also to preview individual images in the image gallery.
The Import workspace
Add image button Use the Add image button to add images to your composition. This is the first step in creating your Deep Zoom Composer composition after creating a new project.
Artboard Use the artboard to preview images.
Image gallery Use the image gallery to view the images that you've added to your project.

The Compose workspace
The Compose workspace is where you create and modify compositions, using the images that you added in the Import workspace and adding hotspots where you want to define a specific section of your composition (for example, to group similar images). This workspace provides you with a design area to position, resize, and arrange images and hotspots. You can also quickly create a panoramic photo or arrange your images and hotspots into a grid using this workspace.
