Do we know that users like zooming? Or if certain particular groups of users like zooming?
I often find zooming irritating. I would mostly rather have a single, somewhat larger full view of an image than to zoom in on just a piece of the image, even if the detail is not as good. Zooming takes more clicks & drags, and then I end up with something where I can't really see the work. I just wonder sometimes if the effort we put into zoom is worthwhile. Should we just make the images bigger? I know that ours could be a lot bigger before it's possible to get any financial gain by stealing them.
