1.2.1. Creating a project

When you log in to the dashboard for the first time, you will see the following screen:

If you click on create your first project, you will see the following screen:

Fill in a project name and select which kind of project you want to create. All projects come with a 30 day free trial period, so you can play around with it before you decide to keep using Micrio.

To help you make a choice of what kind of project to create, there are 2 types of projects:

• Storytelling project

  Within a storytelling project, you can enrich your uploaded images with markers, tours, and audio. Choose this subscription type if you want to create immersive storytelling projects throughout your high resolution images.

• Hi-res images only

  If you have a (big) collection of hi-res images, and just want to use the zoomable Micrio viewer to share or embed into your own site, choose this type.

To choose the fitting needed storage and bandwidth can be tricky. Please refer to this table for some examples.

You can always upgrade existing projects if the chosen version isn't big enough anymore. If you want to play around, just start with the smallest project and see how it goes from there -- you can keep track of the storage and bandwidth usage in the dashboard once the project has been created.

Once you've made your choice, just click "Create project", and you're done! You can now continue to the next section.

1.2.2. Project operations

Once you've created a project and return to the dashboard main page, you will see your project cards like this:

There, you can see the current project status, its storage and current monthly bandwidth usage, and can rename, change or delete the project:

1.3.1. Uploading images

Once you've logged into the dashboard and created a new project, you can start uploading your images. Simply drag and drop images from your computer to the browser, or use the bottom-right button to select a file on your computer to upload.

Currently, you can upload JPG, PNG, TIFF, PSB and RAW files in the dashboard, with a maximum resolution of 100,000 x 100,000 pixels (or 10GP). We will add more supported file formats in the future.

Larger images are also supported, please contact us for more information on how to upload them.

Once an image has been selected, it can take some time to process it for best client delivery. Depending on your image size, this can take from 10 seconds (16MP) to a few minutes (400MP).

1.3.2. Image operations

Once an image has been processed correctly, it will appear in the dashboard as an image card:

Below the title, there is some image information:

1. Note: the storage size can be different from the original image you uploaded. This is due to serverside reprocessing of your original image into tiles-- which can be JPG or PNG. This can either reduce the original image size when you've uploaded a TIFF, PSB or RAW file, or can slightly increase the size when you've uploaded a JPG or PNG file.

At the bottom of the card, there are several actions:

For more image operations, click on the menu icon on the top right of the image card:
