Zoom Region Pixelation
The workaround did, indeed, work. It does still work if publishing to Flash. Note that five years back, Flash was the only publish option. HTML5 publish changes image handling. I'm not sure if this behavior is intended. This could be a bug in the HTML5 publish. Image zooms in raster images aren't very helpful if it's not going to reveal more detail.
Have you tried using a layer to render a scaled version of the image? You lose the nice zoom transition but it would display a more useful image.
Thanks for the clarification RE: Flash!
I am targeting mobile devices, and avoiding Flash like the plague (for a host of compatibility and security reasons): Which means I'm limited to HTML5. And that's worked pretty well up until now.
I've been trying to work out how to effectively do what you suggest; from what I've seen, though, you don't get the ability to 'navigate' the zoomed-in image.
I was trying to use the zoom function to highlight a specific point as a VO was playing, and with the intention of learners seeing the 'zoomed in' component in relation to the 'big picture'.
Ignoring the issue with the pixelation / distortion, I'm also battling issues of limited screen space :P so that's another consideration I'm working through :)
