Just another comment about the note feature: it is pretty good, but it
takes a bit of time to work out which part of the picture a note refers,
as the boundaries are not clear e.g. you can get the entry for William
Smith when you are really still looking at Zachary Macaulay. Perhaps the
hotspots should be smaller?
Still highly impressive stuff.

Subject: New image magnifier for the NMM collections
Hello,
We thought people might like to see the new version of our
javascript/CSS magnifying tool that we've added to a selection of our
paintings online:
http://www.nmm.ac.uk/collections/exhibitions/exhibit.cfm/category/90465/
exhibit/15?ID=BHC0774
It supports adding notes to pictures, which might be useful in using
pictures for education:

We're interested in any feedback that people may have.
Cheers
Jim
