Zoom on a high def photo

[Bobzy]

I hope there is an easy solution to this.

I have photos in high resolution (3096 x 4212) and want to import
these into Premiere. That works fine but then I want to zoom in and
only view a certain section and perhaps pan across the photo. That
also goes well except the resolution goes bad. I would have hoped that
Premiere would be able to handle a larger resolution and not lowering
the resolution before starting the zoom.

btw. I am using Premiere 6.0 but I hope you accept this question here
anyway. :-)

Panning across the photo is called the Ken Burns Effect

I don't know how to do it in Premiere, but Microsoft has a freebie
called Photo Story that makes it very simple.

There's also a program called Pro Show that does it pretty well.
