    Maybe I'm just being thick here, but I just installed the HD view utilities, which claim to install a Photoshop plugin, plus the command line utility.
    I also installed ICE.

    But I cannot see any way to create the HD View content.

    In ICE I can stitch together photos and export a large JPG photo. But I cannot see any options to create any HD View files.

    I cannot see where the HD View utilities or photoshop plugin have been installed to. I search using the windows explorer and it finds nothing.
    Where on earth are they?

    Surely it can't be this difficult?

    In ICE, Once you have dropped your images and they got stiched, at the bottom in the EXPORT area, where it says Format, there is a drop down list, if you click on the drop down list you will see a number of available formats, including HD View Tileset; DeepZoom Tileset; HD images

    About the HD View Photoshop Plugin, Once you have run the install of the program you download here(http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/downloads/345a52c3-fe44-4045-94b4-4b26a93a907c/default.aspx ), it should have placed a file named HDView.8be inside the folder Import-Export, of the Photoshop Plug-ins Folder.
    Inside Photoshop, once you loaded your image, you go to File Then Export, then HDView & DeepZoom

    Hi Scrambler.   

    Thanks for answering this.  One little clarification.  For the Photoshop plugin.  The HDView.8be is initially placed in the install folder of the HD View Utilities package  e.g. C:\Program Files\Microsoft Research\HD View Utilities.  You need to manually copy HDView.8be to your Photoshop Plug-ins\Import-Export folder, e.g. C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS4\Plug-ins\Import-Export.
