Similar situation, I find MS Ice export to Photoshop doesn’t support layers. Exporting out of Photoshop into HD View & Deep Zoom is also problematic. If the HD XML document is created using Photoshop than it always fails to load the images (& results
in crash) however creating the HD XML directly from MS Ice seems to work. Use _HDV.XML Only as the other files will fail.
I am also having problems embedding more than 1 Horizontal spherical HD image onto a webpage at a time & Problems with my ancient spherical panoramas as the HD view recognizes them as flat images for some reason (lucky I saved my original images to restitch
for an almost identical image).
The Program is still very buggy but it looks good when it works & I find MS Ice better than all other stitching programs I have tried.
